I'm not sure where my head was when I commented this.

Just getting at the idea that they're basically worshipping the thing.

We as people just really like worshipping stuff.

Maybe worship is the wrong word due to its religious connotations, but it's effectively the same thing to hold these kind of celebrations for items that we revere.

Anyway, I'm not sure why the above was relevant:)
