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 remembera little orange covered book and only one line:-
Quintus est coque
Other than a mad nun shouting "Sum, Est, Sunt!" while gesticulating madly at herself, us and an imaginary figure behind her.
And that is the sum total of my latin knowledge pretty much.
Oh, apart from things like Per Ardua ad Astra and the other ordinary bits that any fule kno.
