EVERY YEAR, HEAD of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg takes on a New Year’s resolution that puts the rest of the world to shame.

Last night he posted a status telling the world that he’s going to design an artificially intelligent butler for his gaff in 2016.

Casual stuff.

But it was a comment by Zuck to a question underneath the status that is garnering all the attention

Somebody told him that she tells her granddaughters to date the nerd in school:

I keep telling my grand daughters to Date the nerd in school, he may turn out to be a Mark Zuckerberg! Thanks for FB, I’ve reconnected with family and many old friends and classmates.

And he responded with this:

Even better would be to encourage them to *be* the nerd in their school so they can be the next successful inventor!

The internet:

Don’t date the nerd, be the nerd

Comment fire from Zuck
