How about "would you like to go to my room and see my hovercraft?" I used this in 1984, and it worked. We never finished the hovercraft, however.

My personal fave isn't on the list:

"Hey baby, would you like to integrate my natural log?"

"Hi, I go to MIT" is geeky enough, but it's not a pickup line.

Hey now. These are the oldest pickup lines ever. Most students would know them by the end of the second day of CPW.

Isn't just saying "Hi, I go to MIT" geeky enough?

And yes, angry nerds, I am just jealous because I'm not smart enough to get in.
