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.

Word
Probably more a boredom thing than anything, but when i've been staring at Word and the screen starts to look a bit fuzzy, i open up the thesuarus and pick two words at random, and then try to get from one word to the other in as few clicks as possible.
Best so far 6 clicks, although that may get better this afternoon...
