This is a question 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.

I got off with a girl the other night after telling her at length about Dyson spheres. She was drunk enough to find this very attractive.

Sadly
Dyson spheres are unstable- eventually they'll drift off center and Very Bad Things will happen. (The gravitational attraction inside a sphere is zero, so there's no way of preventing it.)

Don't tell Freeman- it would break his heart.

Um
You're wrong - they'll stay perfectly stable... As long as you find a Scotty in a shuttle trapped in the transporter buffer....

Female nerds exist too, y'know. And they're not all ugly. At least, I hope they're not all ugly, cos I am one...
