My dog hacked an Omaha Steaks website and ordered himself a side of beef.

Dear Dr. Gobsmack-- My dog may be a nerd.

Dr. Gobsmack:



My dog loves to watch Jeopardy, it barks out the theme from Final Fantasy, and yesterday I found a pocket protector in it's dogbed. Do you think little Elmer is suffering from the Nerd Flu?

Signed.

Concerned about Elmer.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM THE VCDC (Veterinary Center for Disease Control)

Dr. Marvin Gobsmack, Ph.D.
Veterinary Center for Disease Control


Dear Dogowner:

Have you noticed anything odd in your pets behavior lately? Has your dog seemed unusually interested in electronic devices such as your computer?
Do you come home to find the television tuned to the sci-fi channel no matter what you were last watching?

Have you noticed unusual email traffic on your computer lately?

Does your dog seem less active than usual?

I am afraid that these may be the beginning symptoms of a strange, but largely harmless disease that is sweeping the canine population. A disease known as nerdifidius influenza that goes by the popular name of 'nerd flu'
Nerd Flu's origins are mysterious but we are currently investigating them. We would like to disclaim any outrageous conspiracy theories that this outbreak is a result of genetic modifaction of any disease by the government for military purposes. In all likelyhood, Nerd Flu probably originated from the gold farming cells in Lower city Hong Kong, China.

Dog owner's please be alert to possible symptoms of Nerd Flu in your dog, keep your veterinarian in close contact; this virus is new and we do not know all possible outcomes of infection with this virus. In these times of crisis the general populace can be assured that the Veterinary Center for Disease Control will do everything in it's vast array of powers to keep you and the canine population safe.

Sincerly,
Dr. Marvin Gobsmack Ph.D.
Director of the Veterinary Center for Disease Control
