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.

Okay then, let's see...(I included Wikipedia in the Google reference, as that's usually in the top 10 results anyway- but there are some things where it's better not to trust Wikipedia.)
(B+W+C+G+L+Wa)/(1+2*(S-Sc))
where B, W and C have already been defined above,
G= number of times Google settles an argument/augments a conversation in a week,
L= number of logins per day,
Wa= number of Warcraft characters,
S= number of sex partners,
Sc= number of potential sex partners who hit the ground running when they learned of your enthusiasm for (insert geeky interest here).
Okay, given these modifications... let's see...
(0+0+6+10+4+0)/(1+2*(44-40))
...okay, I'm approaching 2 now.
(Granted, Sc and G are estimated values, but...)
EDIT: corrected my formula and added values.
