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.

LatinAs a few others have already mentioned, I too did Latin A-level, and even now as a translator I get to deal with the odd bit here and there.
To this day, I can decline bellum-i-neuter in under 2 seconds. As chat up lines go, it's not the best.

Declining nouns? No thanks!Arf, arf.
I can still do most of them, but I never got my head around "manus, -us", for some reason. Look at the genitive, ffs. Madness.
