Why bother climbing Everest? I mean, it surves no useful purpose of any 
kind.

Even better: Why climb Everest *today*? It's already been done. It was 
pointless the first time, and there's no particular point in somebody 
else doing it again today.

Similarly: Why have I just spent over 2 *months* learning to play 
Widor's Toccata? I could easily pick up a copy of a true master playing 
it on a grand organ, and it'll sound better than anything I will ever 
produce. So why bother?

It's a challange, man! To see if it can actually be done. :-D

You can get naked CG models to do things that naked actors refuse to do in real
life.  ;-)

I'd make some belittling remark here - but then I basically started 
learning to draw so I could draw naked girls. I guess that makes me just 
as pathetic. :-S

(Of course, what I forgot is that you have to know what something looks 
like before you can draw it. DOH!)

You definitely need more college art classes.

Where do you think people go to learn to draw nudes?  How do you think 
they get taught?
