Creepers are a great mob, they add alot of fun and frustration to the game- but what bothers me is.... so your an animal, and you have evolved to... explode yourself?
I think there must be some kind of biological reason for them exploding. Perhaps it is part of their reproduction? By exploding, they do two things-
1# Potentially kill something, and churn up the soil around them, and create a big hole
2# This big hole now is a decent shelter, and full of nutrients (from the dead people/churned up plant matter- so the creeper, when it explodes, releases a heap of spores or seeds or something, that somehow grow and spread, filling the hole eventually growing into more creepers.
Maybe, or maybe they're like bees: they sacrifice themselves for the greater good. They devalue their lives to save their brethren from the creeper hunter Steve. Quite an honourable purpose, no?

Notch and Jeb siphon all of the update rage out of the forums to make creepers out of.
Perhaps it's just a reaction, if they feel threatened, like a skunk.
Perhaps their bodies re assemble after you've left the crater, or died.

I mean, are they made out of flesh and bone, like us, or something else, like leaves (???)?
