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.

"Ye cannae change the laws o' physics, Jim"said Scotty, in a spaceship travelling faster than light, which was therefore violating a law of physics. Always amused me.
Of course, it may be that in years to come, new theories will be developed which will allow for FTL travel. Indeed, current theories do include such concepts as warping of spacetime, wormholes etc, albeit requiring enormous energies, and also being unsuitable for the transport of macroscopic objects.
So you can change the laws of physics. We've been doing it for millennia. God used to have them all to himself, but he's lost out badly!
