This one’s for Caolionn. She was collecting signs like this on her blog at some point, if I recall. I spotted this on a hike in the canyons on my trip off-planet (click on it for detail):
I just love this sign.

Warning! Mind the Mine!
Cosmic Variance is a group blog by people who, coincidentally or not, all happen to be physicists and astrophysicists:
Our day (and night) jobs notwithstanding, the blog is about whatever we find interesting — science, to be sure, but also arts, politics, culture, technology, academia, and miscellaneous trivia. We have similar outlooks on many things, widely disparate opinions about others, and will do our best to keep the discourse reasonably elevated.

Clifford, maybe a trackback to the, “There’s Gold on the Landscape?”

What? Oh….. very good….. also resonating with commenter science’s fool’s gold comment. Cute.

To me, the matters are the least of my idea’s about “gold” and is one more of, a “social conscience” in regards to what “wisdom might be implied.”
“Seeds” for the future.
But ya, okay, resonantes, but not with sciences(ego state consolidated) comment
Emphemeral, remember 
Newton’s trouble maybe mine, as well. You know, “color and all” in regards to Wassily.
“Pyrite” is a fool’s gold
Baez, left us instructions about this.

Plato, as usual, you’re just way, way, way, way over my head.
Thanks for the thoughts, though.

Reminds me of the warning signs near the terminal face of the west coast glaciers – all in pictures for the non-English speaking tourists. They appear twice – the second time they completely block the path, along with a stone wall, so you have to be really, really, really pigheaded not to get the point! But some people manage anyway.

Clifford,
My energy, through “tunnelling” from other universes is not all accountable, so the “communications” can get “fowled up” using chaotic english words, entangled:)
Let me try that again.
Wok this way? Walking the Wok?
The “Weight” of Evidence
I’ll be good now.

I particularly like the mention of “unstable explosives”. If the explosives left in the mine had only been stable!

I also happened to run across a sign of the same type but in a rather different setting…
March 21st, 2006 at 9:36 pm
Food for thought, Nic.
