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.

Ruined Blackadder/Monty Python and (x-files)As a teeneager I had a massive thing for the X-Files. Spent hours watching the video box set at £100 a go.
I could name every episode/character from the first 6 series - including Mulder and Scull's badge number and -even sadder Mulders phone number 555-0199.
Also- I can quote EVERY line from Blackadder - series 2-4 (working on series 1)
Oh and can never watch lIfe of Brian, or Holy Grail (Monty Python) without laughing before all the lines.
Sad, very sad.
Oh - and I am a software tester- who actually enjoys it.
I am also recently single. Can't imagine why.
