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.

"Tropical" and "Marine" do not mean what you would expect them to mean when it comes to the glamerous world of keeping aquariums.
It was all explained to me by a client who kept tropical fish...or was it marine fish? Either way, he bought a new fish that introduced a disease and killed £800 worth of fish and he had to have the tank professionally cleaned.
