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.

Geek time...I've kept tropicals for years. Generally it's fairly easy, depending on what you keep - I seem to keep killing guppies, for example, so I don't bother. Setting up the tank is relatively simple, let it stand for 24 hours after it's filled, with the filters running and the heater on. Most heaters have a thermostat, so you can fiddle about until the temperature is in the right range. All you need then are the fish...
I'd recommend getting a pair of kribensis so they can breed - relatively easy to keep and very good parents. Plus they look nice.
