I think you have nerd cred to spare. This does give me an idea for a nerd test though. Post how many you get correct with out looking them up (be honest). Don't post answers, i'll give them after every one has had a chance. I think I have some thing here for every one.
A. 9 3/4
B. 42
C. 221
D. 1013
E. 1138
F. 1701
G. 69105

My "Cred" is almost non-existant. I think I got A and F, have no clue on anything else.

221B Baker Street is the London address of the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, created by author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Ten Thirteen Productions is a production company founded by Chris Carter in 1993, which produced four television series and two films (The X-Files: Fight the Future and The X-Files: I Want to Believe). The company was named after Carter's birthday, October 13.

One of George Lucas' early short films was Electronic Labyrinth: THX 1138 4EB, later remade into the feature film THX 1138. After the film, references to 1138 (and sometimes to THX) are scattered throughout Lucas' films, Lucasfilm productions and LucasArts computer games.

The USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) is a fictional starship in the Star Trek media franchise.
The number 69,105 was used as an in-joke at the United States computer game manufacturer Infocom. It has occasionally appeared in later computer games as a tribute to Infocom. Probably its most famous appearance is in Zork:
On the ground is a pile of leaves.
>count leaves
There are 69,105 leaves here.

Dang, I should have known the Holmes question. I would have had he added the "B" Wouldn't have gotten the Zork one, though; I kept thinking it was somebody important's zip code. 9 3/4 stumped me for a bit; I kept hearing a British accent and automatically assumed it was a Monty Python thing.  Hmm, lemme think of a nerd quiz of some sort... |

Looked up 5 so it does not count. That one wasn't for me. My google Fu isn't good enough to get the other two but I now know more then I should about eggs.

Note that they are all names of people, so #2 might not be what you're thinking.

I got 7 right off the bat. I think I know what 5 is, too. It wouldn't be directed at me by any chance would it?
