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'm still a bird watcher.Actually, more worryingly, I only started being one a few years ago.
I think my lowest point was when i visiting friends in Finland one December and I spotted what looked rather like a Bar-headed Goose on the water. I employed every bit of ninja skill I had to get closer by sneaking up behind a tree on it, only to find it was infact a strangely-shaped buoy with a a sock hanging from a pole on the thing, which gave it a very goose-like shape.
No, there's nothing funny about bird watching.
Apart from laughing at twitchers. Even bird spotters laugh at twitchers.
