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.

My first post- and maybe not my last...They say palaeontology is one of the few things beloved by both 6 year old boys and hairy old academics.
Sadly, I'm an otherwise "girly" girl in my early twenties so don't fit the steriotype.
I currently have 6 crates of fossils that I've collected from various sites, stored in my parents attic. The collection shows no signs of shrinkage as I normally have a new and exciting "find" to add to it each time I return home from uni. All the fossils are identified and labelled, complete with highly detailed index cards.
I am unashamed.
Length? Well, I couldn't tell if it was a belemnite in his pocket or if he was just pleased to see me...
