You wear glasses, have a comb-over so you look stupid, hike your pants up, avoid making friends, and act like you know everything. (You must be smart.) Of course, that is just stereotype nerd. You can be introverted or outgoing, as long as you are socially awkward. Being smart and wearing bad clothing are nerd trademarks.

Ghost Rider is a complex character with both good and bad qualities. As the Spirit of Vengeance, Ghost Rider seeks justice and punishes the guilty, which can be seen as a heroic act. However, the methods Ghost Rider uses, like invoking supernatural punishment and causing destruction, can be seen as morally ambiguous.

"Otaku" is a general term for a person who forsakes the rigors of daily life (such as work, school, etc) in order to focus more intently on his or her field of interest. In most cases, this interest is in an artistic field, such as writing or drawing.

Over the years, otaku has come to describe an obsessive fan of a particular form of media. For example, an anime otaku would be someone who obsesses over Japanese cartoons (manga), to the point where other necessities of life (such as a job, family, and other responsibilities) are neglected or ignored.

OtaGamer Says: This answer is not completely accurate. An otaku literally means one who has a hobby. For example, someone who plays a lot of sports could be called a sport otaku, just like someone who likes horror movies could be called a horror otaku. However, the word otaku is mostly used to describe a fan of Japanese animation, or anime. In Japan, it usually has a negative connotation, since otaku in Japan, though numerous, are usually seen as socially akward or unpopular. Many fans of aime in America use the word otaku to describe themselves, and are unaware of the negative meanings of the word. Because of this, many Japanese peope are understandably confused when someone describes themselves as an otaku, or is proud to be known as an otaku. Many Americans who don't watch anime are unaward of the differences between anime and American cartoons. While Bugs Bunny or Tom and Jerry are about sensless violence and humor, anime can tell emotionally moving and phsycologically thrilling stories about romance, comedy, mystery, fantsy, science fiction, horror, or adventure. This is understadable, since the most well-known anie outside of Japan are mostly child-oriented, like Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, or Naruto. Most otaku prefer the original Japanese subtitled versions of anime, since many anime, such as Yugioh or Pokemon, are heavily censored, either beause of adult-material, or many are censored beause the creators try to erase any Japanese references, which irritates many. For example, in Pokemon, there is a now-infamous scene where Ash was eating rice balls, a traditional Japanese food. In the Americna version, the animation was unchaged, but Brock says, " Boy! I love jelly donuts!". There is another sene where a rice ball was replacd with a large sandwich. However, some instances are unneeded, such as one infamous scene where 4Kids Entertainment, known for heavy censorship of Japanese material, changed the color of a black character so that he appeared to be white. Also, one characters cigars are replced with a lolipop, confusing children when he would often blow out smoke from his mouth. Anyway, if you are interested in otaku culture, check out some anime or anime conventions.

The explanation is actually quite interesting. The belief was that opening an umbrella offends the spirit of the house because it implies that its roof and the walls do not provide adequate protection from the rain, so those spirits bring bad luck to those individuals. Of course this is only superstition with no credibility and no scientific basis.

No. One theory is that the word "golf" actually comes from the dutch word "kolf" meaning "club".

The idea that the game of golf is derived from "Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden" is an urban legend. The word "golf" first appeared in the 15th century. There are several theories as to where it came from, but no one ever suggested the acronym theory until the 20th century.

The "cold ones" of Twilight are made up by the author of the Twilight books. Stephenie Meyer, the author of the "Twilight" books, has stated that she made this fictional vampire legend of the "cold ones" up herself and only had her Quileute character tell it for the purposes of her plot.

Lifting weights above your head will not affect your height.

However it is not recommended that prepubescent or adolescent men/women do strength training. Building strong upper body muscles such as deltoids pecs trapezius biceps and triceps without building the proper muscles to support them can stunt spinal development, thus keeping you from being as tall as you could be.

Note: If you lift weights over your head and happen to drop one, the knot on the top of your head would indeed make you taller.

Jeff the Killer is a fictional character that originated from a creepypasta—a user-generated horror story shared online. There is no credible evidence to suggest that Jeff is a real person; instead, he is a product of internet folklore and storytelling. The character has gained popularity through various adaptations in fan art, videos, and other media, but he remains a fictional creation.

You would have to have lots of people that already believe you, like if you had a fan-base or something. Then you can make up a fake, or true, story about how this crazy thing happened and you swear by it. Then it might make it as a widely know urban legend.

Before women started swimming, fish would have had the same natural odor they possess today—often described as a briny or oceanic scent due to their aquatic environment. The notion that women swimming would alter the smell of fish is more metaphorical or humorous than factual. In reality, fish smell is influenced by their habitat, diet, and freshness rather than human activities.
