How nerdy are you?This week Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons, died. A whole generation of pasty dice-obsessed nerds owes him big time. Me included.
So, in his honour, how nerdy were you? Are you still sunlight-averse? What are the sad little things you do that nobody else understands?
As an example, a B3ta regular who shall remain nameless told us, "I spent an entire school summer holiday getting my BBC Model B computer to produce filthy stories from an extensive database of names, nouns, adjectives, stock phrases and deviant sexual practices. It revolutionised the porn magazine dirty letter writing industry for ever.
Revel in your own nerdiness.

I used to have a carwhich was on A at 70mph. But several cars later, my current diesel machine is so high geared that I'd have to be doing about 118mph (calculated by extrapolation - I don't actually drive that fast) to be in the same key.
Or 59mph of course, but the fundamental is drowned out by the road noise.
My mates used to take the piss out of me for knowing this. I found it perfectly normal behaviour.
