There was an incredible giant sculpture at Burning Man last year... three car-sized chunks of granite supsended from a tower which could be spun by pulling. The artist is Zachary Coffin and is from Atlanta. We sought and found a little sculpture garden of his work... http://www.gravitybites.com/cityview/load.html *

Toys for adults, which allow people to experience massive forces without getting hurt. This ten-foot tall chunk of granite (Rockspinner) could be climbed and spun on bearings. *

And then a giant sandworm ate our bikes. Bummer.

But Mike used his Fremen skills to take it and talk it into regurgitating them intact.
