lol, i love your avater umm mine brakelights light up when ever i start up the car i know the wires do get shorted sometimes cause if i mess with the wires to the brake lights a little the brake lights light well stay on even after i tap the brake pedal even thou there working. the bmw manual that came stock with the car said that the brake light check light comes on purpose just so you can remember that your brake lights work before taking off.
