I've got two: Bill Nye, and Brian Cox.

Bill, because I've had a crush on him since I was about 6 years old. He went from being my favorite kids show host to being on my favorite TV channel, the Science Channel. He's also just awesome.

As for Brian.... well, he's cute, a physicist (always an instant win in my book), and come on! That accent? Mop me off the floor why don't you!

Who are your geeky crushes?

Edit: this whole discussion is awesome. I guess I'm surprised that there are such a variety of crushes, but at the same time I'm not surprised.:)

Neil deGrasse Tyson. I could listen to him talk for hours and hours and hours...and I have.
@ Alice - Oh, you so totally stole my man. I wanted to put him on this thread, but no matter how hard I tried, I simply could not classify him as a geek lol.
Mine would have to be YouTube's ZOMGitsCriss.  She's smokin"!
Yes...Brian Cox by all means. He has all the requirements, musician, physicist, great to look at and the accent. Also Carl Sagan and Brian Greene and Sheldon!!(BBT)

:)

Love this post

Aimee

ok so the title of this post sooo pulled me in, I screamed in my head "OMG SHELDON COOPER!!"

 

Yes, I am fully in love with Sheldon Cooper. 

John Francis Daley (Dr. Lance Sweets) on Bones.....total hot nerd....

Michael Shanks (Daniel Jackson in Stargate SG-1, pre-haircut)

 

Seconding (thirding?) Jodie Foster's character in Contact.

Gil McKinney.

 

He plays Jack Kelso in the video game L.A. Noire. Even his animated character is hot. :-P

 

 

Edited to add: Gil is probably the me-being-a-geek crush. I'd probably go Brian May or Tory Belleci from Mythbusters for geeky people I crush on.

Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace and patron saint (ha!) of computer programmers. Her portrait hangs on the wall where I do the majority of my nerdy work.

If I was gay: Alan Turing. Smart as a whip, used his powers for Good and not Evil, and took his own life with enough dramatic flair to give Oscar Wilde pause. Emo, yes, but awesome.
Does he have to be real?  If not, then Dr. Jack Hodgins, Entomologist on "Bones".  I like his looks, his brains, his acting, and that sexy twinkle in his eye.
I'm an old lady now.  May I be forgiven if I drop a name? Dr. James D. Watson, as in Watson, Crick, and DNA. When I got a job at the Harvard Biology labs, in the Entomology department, just out of High School, James Watson had a crush on me. He ungraciously sent one of his graduate students down to my lab, to ask me for a date. I refused to go out with him. I think he was married at the time. I didn't like his arrogance and cowardice in sending a messenger. He was 20 years my senior. And lastly, I had a boyfriend.  I feel like jerk saying this.  I never mentioned it to anyone before.
That's an awesome story. I mean, not awesome that you say he was arrogant, but that's a part of history you indirectly had contact with. Too bad he handled it all wrong. And was married.
He found you so attractive he would potentially throw away a perfectly happy marriage to be with you. Above all else, it sounds to me like perhaps the most honest compliment one can give. :)
