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.

uberdeityen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_sixth_chord
There's three types - Italian, French and German.
Italians are lazy. The Italian augmented 6th chord has only three notes, so it's a lazy chord.
The French are smelly. The French augmented 6th chord contains two augmented 4ths, so it's a dissonant, "smelly" sound.
Germans are devious. The German augmented 6th chord, when taken out of tonal context, sounds exactly like a diminished 7th chord, so it is a devious chord.
So you've got lazy, smelly and devious - Italian, French and German.
