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.

CERNTip for you - CERN is a publically funded facility; if you email their press or communications office very nicely they will arrange a tour for you - a full blown one into the main ATLAS experiment underground and around some of the facilities.
It is amazing I was there a few weeks ago; a very nice American researcher showed us around for about 2 hrs.. bonus is you can take piccies :-)
