Who hasn’t heard of EL James’ wildly popular Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy? And the disastrous fourth book, Grey, which took parts (you know which ‘parts’ I’m talking about *wink*) of the trilogy and told it from billionaire protagonist Christian Grey’s perspective? If you haven’t heard of any of these books, which are akin to an SOP manual on mummy p*rn, then you, my friend, have been living under a rock, and I congratulate you on your achievement!

Well, those of you who have heard of these ‘bestsellers,’ know that there are several ingenious people on the Internet, who have taken it upon themselves to troll the heck out the trilogy, much to the dismay of EL James (this is a BIG assumption on my part, one, I think is spot on!) and the amusement of readers worldwide.

And the latest to join the online trollers is a Twitter account called 50 Nerds of Grey with the handle @50NerdsofGrey. The account was created this past Saturday, and within one week, has amassed close to 43,000 followers. Whew! That’s a huge number!
But why the hullabaloo around this innocuous-sounding Twitter account? That’s because the owner of this account takes lines from the erotic bestseller, but puts a twist on them by finishing the sentences with a hilariously geeky rejoinder.

FEMAIL, part of Daily Mail, reached out to the anonymous owner of the account, who is based in Milton Keynes. The owner apparently said,
“My friends suggested I start a twitter account to help develop my social skills. I say friends, I mean my mother.”
Further, he continued,
“I created the account on Saturday. I assumed it was some kind of ornithological [study of birds] forum, but I was sadly disappointed.”
Hahaha!

And when asked if he’d read the Fifty Shades of Grey series, he apparently said,
“Of course, who hasn’t? Fifty Shades of Black: a study of Dark Matter by Professor Gottfried Willheim. It’s a classic!”
Well, this dude certainly knows how to talk, and apparently write as well!
Without further ado, let’s have a look at some of the hilarious tweets, shall we:
