I collect beer coasters from around the world - and while I like the pretty ones and decorate the living room with them, I also used to hoard all sorts, so I think I get the desire. I think the pack rat instinct is an evolutionary response - it gives people a feeling of security, especially with regard to the things we love.

Hey, there's people out there who collect barbed wire... and thimbles... and used bus tickets... and erasers... In fact, pretty much anything you can think of has a devoted following.

...Takes all sorts, I guess.
