Leg Shaving?

OK, I'm a newbie, but I've been visting this forum for about 3 months and I've heard frequent references to leg shaving. Do guys really do that? I thought that they do that to keep from snagging the chain; that made a little bit of sense. But others claim they do it for aerodynamics. Is that poseur/sarcasm talk or are they serious? I could see why swimmers do it but I would think the added wind drag on a cycle would be minimal.

Please, just a couple of serious answers and I'll stop wondering.
