This is probably worse than those decryption threads, but what the hell.

What's the significance of -119 14 11.105358W 40 45 17.162029N?

Black Rock City Does not exist 51 Weeks of the year. Yet once populated it's the second largest city in Nevada, reaching a population of over 50,000. At the center of the city is the man, as pictured. He stands about 70 feet tall. At the end of the burning man festival he is burned down, with flames reaching temperatures so hot there are large dust devils (mini tornados) spinning out from him.

It even has it's own zip code, I could send you a post card. :)

Am I the only burner here? So sad...

Nope. Consider it a giant party filled with lifesize art, naked women and the rules of modern society placed on ice.

Alcohol and food are abundantly free, but water will cost you. :)

I was speaking of naked women in general. :)

I don't watch TV and when I do it's a movie channel. So, no I haven't seen the E! coverage of the event. :p I read the description and it sounds like some sort of New Age Revival.
