I remember at Burningman in maybe '03 or '04, there was this roller coaster with flamethrowers called "The Roaster Roaster" - a friend of mine (who's girlfriend ran straight into the queue to ride it) was asking one of the operators about it:

"So, who designed and built this?" "Dave did!" "So who's Dave? Is he an engineer or a roller coaster designer in real life? How did he know how to build it safely?" "It's _Dave_ man! Dave can build _anything!_"



Hahaha, well we were a chip company so the potential disaster scenarios weren't as pronounced. (though of of the NPI guys crushed his finger in one of the testers :()
