People are terribly interesting, very often...

Sometimes, if you listen, you can get people to tell you about how excited they are about DragonCon this weekend, and how they're planning on cosplaying (wearing a dress, no less -- and this particular person, by her own description, almost never wears a dress) as a character from a story a totally unpublished friend wrote once... complete with details on the costume ("she has cat ears, but all I could find that looked right were Kitsune ears"), and a fairly detailed history of an incredibly ancient shape-shifting magician... (overtones of Napoleon Dynamite and the scene where he's describing the Liger come to mind...)

This is why everybody loves CS majors :) Everybody.
