As network after network called the election for President Barack Obama on Tuesday night, a metaphorical mic-drop was heard around the country. The man dropping said mic was statistical whiz — and America’s new nerd boyfriend — Nate Silver, who essentially won the internet even as Obama won another four years.

In what has become the “nerdiest election ever,” Silver, who has been tracking the polls and crunching the numbers at his FiveThirtyEight blog for The New York Times, correctly predicted the electoral outcomes in all 50 states (provided Florida ends up going to Obama, as is presumed the case).

After being called to task by pundits who questioned his numbers as “voodoo statistics,” Silver’s accuracy provided a bit of schadenfreude — not only for the master number-cruncher, but also for his online supporters, who had been trusting in his data all along.

Doing what it does best, the internet sprang into action as results poured in, quickly launching the #NateSilverFacts hashtag on Twitter and creating Chuck Norris-esque facts to celebrate the math genius’s, well, genius. Check out some of the best Nate Silver Facts (and some other Silver linings) in the Storify below. (Also, somewhat ironically, Silver has a new book out titled The Signal and the Noise: Why So Many Predictions Fail — But Some Don’t.)
