Good one,
1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100

All the floors you visited an odd number of times (perfect squares).

I had to work my way up to 9 to figure it out.

"If you ask me, the key to victory on any of these shows comes down to one factor: bacon. Whichever contestant puts bacon in the dish invariably seems to win." --Michael Pollan, on "Iron Chef America" and related TV shows Did you see Top Chef this week? One of the loosing dishes was in the botom be...

goathead wrote:Are you saying hot young guys are probably uptight and insecure?

I think it's true that young guys who go nude are going to be doing it in an atmosphere that is all about how sexualy atractive they are. Whereas older guys (and women)can be more motivaed by comfort and self acceptance.

Me too. My first burn and I got an absesed tooth two days before leaving. The antibiotics my dentist gave me weren't strong enough and we ended up there from monday untill I couldn't take it anymore on Wed. It's taken most of the week to gain some perspective on the trip. Things that would have been...

AZ, Assuming this wasn't asked with an underlying judgement that BDSM is just wrong/sick/deviant. I'll say that my experience talking to folks says that if you ask 10 people you'll get at least a dozen diferent answers. For me Bondage, at it's core, is a huge release. Issues of guilt over enjoying s...

I did a quick search and found two places that have them for about $5.00 each.

Hope that helps

And what kind of eugenisist is spreading that garbage? Teasing apart the relationship between "drive" and "intelligence" and number of offspring is hard. And there's a huge bias, as the people who do this sort of thing are typically of the professional classes and likely to regard themselves as "in...

Militant Agnostic:
I don't know and neither do you!

Actually I'd heard that there was some concern that the most "successful" people , especially in the industrialized world tend to limit the number of offspring they have, while those with less drive or intelligence are still having many children. Since evolution is more concerned with who successful...

Matisse Thanks for the link, I hadn't found her homepage but was thinking she'd be a good person to contact.

Hey thanks for the replies, I'm still in the process of figuring out the logistics of bringing a piece to Burningman. This is my first time to burningman but I've been working as a full time sculptor for the last five years and can't imagine coming without bringing some sort of art piece to work on....

I'm going for my first time too but a couple of years (ok maybe 4) ago at the Salt Lake regional burn there was a camp flying a leather pride flag. They had a nice St. Andrews cross. From posts in their Yahoo group I think they brought a Vac-rac to the regional this year. Nice folks from Salt Lake b...

Thanks Penguin I might have to look into that for other projects but it leaves the problem of having a big piece to haul home afterwards. I got a suggestion of paper mache, which would be flammable, but still a second choice for me for structural reasons. I did some more searching and found a couple...

Hi there, happy burners (and the grumpy ones too), I'm looking for advice on media for a reasonably scaled piece to bring to the playa this year. I'm not particularly interested in burning it but I want a to do a fair amount of the work on site. What I want to do would be a, between 8-10 ft tall, sc...

I'm hoping that we eventually emerge from the current world views into a more "enlightened" philosophy as stated by TITWI. However, history can be viewed as a pendulum swing. We spent 500 years swinging toward the Empirical Paradigm. Starting with the humanist movement that started the Renaissance a...

Hey thanks Geekster. I'd checked out their site before but got too lost in the amazing art they did and missed the fire safety manual. Lots of great info in it. Some day, when I grow up I wanta be like them! I finaly got to reading the Theme camp registraition form and it does look like small and si...

Cool!! Thanks for the info Token. That's just what I needed.

My bad. I'm sorry I missed the camp fire thread before I posted mine here. I did look. :oops: The prevailing opinion on Zoom's thread makes it clear that just bringing it is a bad idea. So does that mean registering as a theme camp or registering the piece as an art installation? I had been playing ...

I've been reading the "is burning man still dangerous" thread and thinking about a couple of projects I'd like to bring to BM. It's brought up a couple of questions for me that I didn't have much luck with in a search. 1) I see a lot of references to really sophisticated fuel systems in fire install...

part of my reason for starting this topic is yes one for myself but also because i have spoken to a lot of people who have questions along these lines as well. Actually, Yogiii, I'd like to thank you for broaching the subject. I've not been to BM yet and have been reading this board for months tryi...

I just LOVE this thread! Has anyone else expereinced this: If you're male, your gay friends are all saying things like "ICK! you do THAT" (Eat pussy) and your female friends think they can't "compete" (give head like) a man. I don't know about women not felling that they compete, but I love to teas...

An agnostic is a person who feels that God's existence can neither be proved nor disproved, on the basis of current evidence. Actually I know several people who define themselves as agnostic but consider that to mean that they have a positive theistic belief that god exists but that the precise nat...

Hey, thanks for all the posts here. I'm feeling more confident about the one I've started (something I've wanted to make for years) and getting some inspiration for more. I'm still trying to decide if I should find a theme camp to join up with to give some more direction to the art I want to bring(i...

I suppose I learned my lesson: "Full Disclosure", which I usually practice, isn't such a good idea on his behalf. Let him do all the divulging, and have people take him at face value. I think this is a good idea. I have a good friend who had a similar problem that I had to coach on the difference b...

I've had good luck with speedball's printers ink, comes in a tube, thick paste, most art supply stores should have it. I was much happier with the oil based but you have to deal with the clean up. What are you planning on using your prints for? The last project I did with block printing was shoji ty...

Ok, I'm trying to figure out what all I want to bring to the playa (virgin year) and for the most part every other topic is discussed in enough depth that I think I've got it. However, when I do a search on "costume", I get a long list of posts that say something to the effect of "the spectator jerk...

Hey, love this idea. I'd love to be part of it. [quote]and perhaps a scuba experience for the uninitiated.[/quote] What do you think about a rack of clear buckets with neckseals on the botom. People could stick there head up into the bucket, we give them a mask and reg, fill the bucket with water an...
