The mummy is true...at least.

Can't remember about the rest.

If only there were a website we could go to in order to verify if these really are true or not...

Oh, wait...

Darn...and I just can't find the website you're talking about, TGG!

Whatever am I going to do? I'll never know the truth!

An event similar to the "The Curiously Realistic Decoration" legend just happened recently at Burning Man.

For the first time in 21 years of Burning Man, a Burner has committed suicide.

A man was found hanging inside a two-story-high tent this morning, said the federal Bureau of Land Management...

He dangled for two hours before anyone in the big tent thought to bring him down, said Mark Pirtle, special agent in charge.

"His friends thought he was doing an art piece," he said.

When I was in high school (back in '85 or '86), a special-ed student tried to trick his parents on Halloween by pretending to hang himself. The harness he made to keep the noose from functioning did not work and he really did hang himself from the tree out front.

We had a dedication to him in my yearbook.
