(well that's part of it. The other reason that I don't intend to admit to is that as a nerdy kid - geeks had not been invented yet - I had an adventurous, imaginary other-self similar to Calvin's Spaceman Spiff. Mine was named Zedael just because I liked the way it sounded. But like I said, I don't tell people about that so Shhhhh.)
