格致上有过个帖子讲物理青年求婚的趣事，挺有意思。这两天又看到两则，非物理青年，但同样 Nerdy。

一、程序员 Bernie Peng 修改了女友 Tammy Li 最喜欢的视频游戏，当她达到某得分时，游戏中跳出个窗口说 “你愿意嫁给我吗？” Tammy 回答“是”。

二、Ryan Thomas Grace 向美国专利局递交了一份专利申请，作为求婚方式。专利名称：Method and instrument for proposing marriage to an individual。

The purpose of this invention is to provide an improved method of proposing marriage to an individual. The method of proposing to an individual generally comprising the steps of meeting the individual; exchanging names with the individual; dating the individual (not necessary); drafting a government document having a proposal to marry the individual incorporated therein; and showing the government document to the individual. The government document may be a patent application. The patent application may claim the method by which the proposor will make a marriage proposal to the individual. The proposor could then use the method claimed in the patent application to propose to the individual. The patent application could be the actual marriage proposal.

仔细阅读专利文本，非常好玩。
