To be fair... no one does... except a select few si-fi geeks ;-) :-D

So, do you have any glittering C beams for your live light show?

Actually we do :-D I wish I could show you a DVD of one of our shows... I think the Youtube link in my sig is quite good...

And it's exactly those purposes I'm trying to understand :-)

So now you know three reasons why people do it, to form a bond with people around them, to get laid, to hide their true personality. Quite varied reasons, right?! :-D

You forgot, childish behaviour!

No, I think it's part of play to develop linguistic skills... where wolf cubs fight, toddlers chat about pointless things... I believe it could be this behavior that is carried over to adulthood :-)

too bad most of those SF geeks don't know what Tannhäuser is either.

Indeed, but then maybe they have an excuse? Since the line from the film is clearly TannHauser not TannHäuser :-)
