/sci/, pyromania is described by psychiatric science as a condition or disease in which the sufferer gets sexually excited by the burning destruction of property, pyromania is said to be a specific subset of sadism.
so the news that the fire department in new york is on strike should, in theory, give the pyros in new york a massive, massive boner as they are presented with the most exciting "sexual" opportunity they've ever encountered and new york, being as big as it is, should be home to an proportionally large population of pyromaniacs.
so if the theories are accurate, there should be a number of large conflagrations in new york pretty soon. this event should be a nice public test of these ideas.
