Ode to the wall wart: Hang in there, you too can achieve your max.  Just 
hold your cool and don't get overheated.

PS...Oh, by the way,  I ran into a guy the other day who said, "so 
what's a wall wart?" 

hmmmmm, I wanted so badly to say that it's the dents in the walls from 
where NERDS have run into them.   But I couldn't find my pocket 
protector with the set of pens and screwdrivers in it to hold on to..... 
to give me confidence in what I was saying.... 
Oh well, maybe next time I'll conger up the courage.....I'll just hang 
in there. 

If you see the humor in this, then maybe you should look within to find 
your Nerdy qualities.  Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?  
The Shadow do... yeah, he sure do.
