  1. Holy crap I'm an underachiever! As much D&D as I played in High School they should have gave me a Medical Degree along with my Diploma.

  2. lol, I've seem similar posts and I agree. We used all of the reading & math involed in 40k to help convince the parents of one of the 'little kids' @ the game shop that this was ok for him all those years ago (he's now in his 3rd year of college).

    It was a selling point in the GW where I worked that wargaming taught literacy, arithmetic and social interaction skills.
    The latter meant that we got many autistic kids. It seemed to help them.
