I think it's because if you imagine yourself and the audience in their underwear, when you get up to speak, you'll be covered by the podium, and they will not. It's a confidence boost.It's kinda like when you're giving a speech, and if you have stage-fright, someone tells you to imagine the audience in their underwear. It's supposed to be a silly thought, and can often help you relax.
Also... You changed your screenname! Now I will be confused for the next 3 months!!!
Astro> gforce's smiles can cure cancer in kittensgforce422 is awesome because:
-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.
Astro> the happiness radiating from your person is enough to solve tensor calculus

@Doc: Um, OK.
@Ty: Heh, I didn't know the underwear trick came from zen. Or that someone who goes around half-naked would feel so comforted by it.
Anyway, the trick has its limits. If you're delivering a speech at an AARP conference, you won't want to imagine the audience that way. I don't think it'd work at a nudist colony either.
