Speaking of pictures that invoke me in a disturbing way (we'll give the Catholicism a half a point what with the family alienation from the church)
this nerd usually has one or more of the following attributes and obsessions:

- a beard
- catholicism
- a favorite history podcast
- housing policy
- advanced degree
