I watched the British Movie, Snatch last night...actually this morning around 3ish...but anyway it was a great movie. I would recommend it if not for the humor, the action, amazing cast, plot twists, and great music; then for the crazy array of different accents. The character of Brad Pitt (I know, but I think that Pitt is actually a very good actor) is a "pikey" (slang for Irish Gypsy) and he has one the best and craziest accents I have heard. This made me start thinking about all kinds of other crazy accents, which then led me to start thinking about other crazy languages, which ultimately led me to thinking about Science Fiction and all the crazy languages involved. I know that some Sci-Fi languages actually work, for example Klingon and in fantasty, Elvish. These languages are completly unecessary but there are people...devoted...enough to learn them. I then thought about how devoted to Science Fiction and other fictional things people can be and I even looked at myself and my odd Sci-Fi/fantasy addictions. What is it that makes so many people devote so much time to fiction and non-reality? What ever it is, I for one can't get enough of it.

It's the same reason a theatre artist does theatre, why a child plays with action figures, why little girls dress up...it's an escape from this hell whole called life.
