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.

When I was at school in the 1980sAt some point the teachers went on strike. Around 1985, as I remember. Anyway, the more militant teachers were hanging around the buses one day as we were leaving to go home, handing out leaflets imploring our parents to support the teachers in their cause. It appeared that the striking teachers were actually worried about what would happen to our education were the dispute not resolved. On the leaflet was written:
"What will be the affect of this action on your children?"
I took great pleasure in pointing out the error!
