		<title>Probably the best Burning Man photo library I&#8217;ve seen</title>

		<title>What&#8217;s more crazy than running a marathon?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Answer: running a 31 mile marathon in a Nevada desert. Why on earth woudl you do this to yourself? Personally I think entering the marathon could probably be used in court as evidence on insanity, but some people will be doing it at the Burning Man this year. Bonkers.
