That sounds kind of...neat.

Also, how could it be "stolen" if they pulled it from somewhere explicitly intended for sharing? License restrictions, or...?

Burning Man is an amazing event if you're into that sort of thing. Some people spend years building stuff for the celebration. I know a guy who spent over a year modifying a golf cart to look like the time machine from the HG Wells book. All of his work was done in wrought iron. Then he spent the week driving around in his time machine, while smoking the biggest attached bong you've ever seen.

It's just a joke, I'm just ragging on the "maker" type people that go to these.
