[dragonfly Jafe]

what will be the end of black rock city????

the heat death of the universe? Or the big-slam, depending on your particular cosmological philosophy...

Or maybe something else before that...

[theCryptofishist]

murder?

I don't know what scares me more about this--the inevitable pathologizing of the whole BM experience by the true crime writers or the cutesy little fictional detectives novels bound to follow.

Our Sun is rough in the middle of its approximately 10 billion year life span. Thus, the Sun has enough fuel for another five billion years or so. At the end of its life, the Sun will start to fuse helium into heavier elements and begin to swell up, ultimately growing so large that it will swallow the Earth. After about a billion years as a red giant, it will suddenly collapse into a white dwarf -- the final end product of a star like ours. It may take a trillion years to cool off completely.

So, as far as Burning Man getting burned up by the sun goes, we should be good to go for at least another five billion years or so.





"This image was acquired from NASA's Skylab space station on December 19, 1973. It shows one of the most spectacular solar flares ever recorded, propelled by magnetic forces, lifting off from the Sun. It spans more than 588,000 km (365,000 miles) of the solar surface. In this photograph, the solar poles are distinguished by a relative absence of supergranulation network, and a much darker tone than the central portions of the disk. (Courtesy NASA)"

Of course it does! There are actually secret hidden messages inside the picture that tell you to kill your parents. You don't see them?

The first I'd heard of Bicycle Theft was in 1998 during my third participation in Black Rock City.

This is quite ironic, considering the mass of twisted metal left over each year known as "abandoned bicycles".

I doubt that bike theft on its own is any cause for concern for the permanent destruction of Black Rock, but I hope the center camp coffee and ice money trade doesn't maintain large quantites of greenbacks on site.

Bummer. Unfortunately I turn into a werewolf during the full moon.

Even worse news is that no one can tell the difference. So if you see a big, furry beast, scratching himself and grunting- beware. If I growl, jump up, tear your heart out and eat it- I'm a werewolf. If I growl, jump up, tear your heart, eat it, and then ask your political affiliation- I'm just being myself.

Bad move. Italian werewolves love garlic. Instead of repellant, you've inadvertantly brought seasoning.

I've found a sharp swat deliverd to the bridge of the muzzle with a rolled up newspaper does the trick across ethnic divisions of canine lycranthropes. In the one case where that wasn't sufficient a kick to the nuts ended the matter handly...

Patchouli is probably the easiest repellant, and the cheapest. Nothing in their right mind would eat anything wearing patchouli.

Simple conditioning. How many times do you have to spend a night rolling on your back, staring at the moon, muttering "But have you every really looked at your paw?"- before you write something off as a food source?
