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.

Right. Here goes.I spent a month at age 13 committing all the production codes of every Simpsons episode to memory.
Now, if you name an episode that aired between the show's beginning and 2001, I can pretty much give you the production code straight like that.
It was a very odd talent, but that's just something I wanted to do when I was young. It's probably why I didn't have sex until I left school. Then again, it was an All Boys school.
