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.

I may be in denialI like to think that I am a well rounded individual, neither geek nor chav or any where in between for that matter...my girlfriend disagrees.
I am/have been heavily obsessed with many sci-fi films and TV shows.
I have had way too many unhealthy obsessions with various computer games.
I am a member of CAMRA, this apparently makes me a beer geek.
I enjoy the odd port and cheese night.
I am more excited than I should be about the commencing of experiments involving the Large Hadron Collider, even though I have no affiliation with particle physics other than personal interest.
I think my only saving grace is the fact that I have a poor memory and an even smaller attention span thus not allowing my inner geek to grow to ridiculous proportions.
BUT...I really, really enjoy reading chemical safety data sheets.
And I lived in Hyrule and had a horse called Epona in a past life.Honest

I really, really enjoy reading chemical safety data sheets.Seconded. And I take huge pride in knowing what the structures of the chemicals on the back of shampoo bottles actually look like...
Btw, there is, as I recall, an MSDS for water, which suggests that, in case of accidental skin contact, it should be flushed away with copius amounts of water...
