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 11...I went to a train museum. I then proceeded to buy a notebook and oen (for recording the train numbers) and an anorak.
A year later and the notebook lay on my desk unused, laughing at me and my nerdish ways. So i thought i'd become cool and filled the notebook with secret ways to sneak down and watch porn whilst my parents were asleep (Operation XXX) and it even told me how loud i should have the tv on and my parents pin code.
It's my 18th birthday on Tuesday and now i'm well cool. The notepad still lies in my desk draw...the anorak still lies unused, mocking me with it's blue and yellow nylon colours.
