When too much information is never enough, Galapagos' Nerd Nite monthly delivers with obsessively detailed lectures on topics you have no good reason to be familiar with. The latest installment finds an NYU evolutionary geneticist speaking on hermaphroditism and copulatory plugging in kinky lower lifeforms. Twelve-sided die tossers should note a discussion on the hierarchical racial coding prevalent in Dungeons & Dragons, and how early exposure to it may have influenced your own perception of halflings, orcs, and white people. The final segment, Know Your Type: A Font of Information about Typography, gushes about the importance of typeface through the ages. Pocket protectors not included.
