Re: A funny question please leave your opinion ^.^

This would probably have been better placed in psychology, because I think it is the reaction to the reaction, rather than the reaction itself that you are interested in.

So, why that reaction? People are impressed by novelty. I think it is that simple.

its not even a chemical reaction, so even the reaction itself does not belong here

And remember that great question that Pierre-Simon Laplace and Sir Isaac Newton, Andrei Markov and David Hilbert, Richard Feynman and Enrico Fermi, Albert Einstein and Edmund Halley did not come to ask throughout all of their dedication and work: "Who the hell is IMing me?"

According to a report in New Scientist magazine you get a bigger, better reaction with diet coke!

Is it any sillier than the 'cult of the celebrity'?
