You know, that's great to hear. A lot of my gaming group is marrying off and/or procreating, and I worry that the gaming will fall by the wayside.
(With that, I go back to knitting a giant fuzzy d6 for the future geek due next month ... :lol: )

Hey, now. Just because some people are OK with casual sex, that doesn't make them morally inferior. Let's keep all punches above the belt, please.
And before anybody asks: No, I've never had a one-night-stand (or "meaningless sex") either.

Ok, ok, I'll concede that money and power are pretty big cures to geekdom, but I really have to question the idea about marriage being a major geek-kill. I have been married for almost 3 great years, and I am still as much a geek as I was beforehand, even more by my wife's standards. My wife may roll her eyes and shake her head at some of the things I say or do, but she definitely knew who and what I was (and still am!)before she said "yes".

Heh. Geek genes are mostly recessive and gender-linked to the male of the species. It’s possible the females to carry the geek genes (such are often classified as gamer grrls), but their numbers are few enough that their numbers are insufficient, in and of themselves, to replenish the geek population. No one knows quite how enough new geeks appear each generation; some conspiracy theorists postulate genetic warfare by aliens to destroy humanity’s ability to reproduce. :twisted:

... Don't do that to my biological clock. :?
You're lucky I showed up, with my new invention, The Big B's Biological Clock Rejuvination Spray. Comes in Ocean Breeze and Country Garden scent. Guaranteed to protect any biological clock from fiendish acts of Man. Or your money back!
Anti-Yuki till the grave claims me...
Kid Kool (1988) for the Nintendo Entertainment System is GROSSLY underrated. Sure the concept could've been presented a little better, but it doesn't deserve the hate it gets in some circles.

Do what? :mrgreen: <Grandpa Simpson>It’s aliens, I tells ya. A-a-a-aliens! </Grandpa Simpson>
Are biological clocks adjusted for Daylight Savings Time?
If a biological clock stops, is it still right twice a day?
Is the time zone important for a biological clock?
Can you update biological clocks by means of an NTP server?
