Stonehenge mystery solved?

Very interesting (and simple)
answer to the question of how did they do it?

This might even have ramifications for the building of:  the pyramids, the temple of Solomon , etc.

Stonehenge mystery solved?

For hundreds, maybe thousands of years, people have been trying to figure out how primitive people could build huge structures such as Stonehenge and the pyramids out of stone blocks weighing thousands of pounds.  Scientists have been stumped.
Then along comes a normal guy – a retired construction worker – and he says, “Well, I would do it like this.” And he does. This guy uses the simplest tools known to man and shows how simple and easy it would have been to create Stonehenge .
This is a really great video clip. Amazing how this guy could figure out something that has confounded scholars for centuries.  He not only figures it out, but demonstrates it!
This Michigan guy could build a replica of Stonehenge single-handedly, while a committee of 20 or 30 Civil Engineering professors from leading Universities would be debating how it might be done.  ‘ Stonehenge Reloaded’.
Take a look.

well run complaint dept. Good Halloween spirit

A well run complaint department

There’s this man with a bald head and a wooden leg who gets invited to
a fancy dress party. He doesn’t know what costume to wear to hide his
head and his leg so he writes to a fancy dress company to explain the
problem.
A few days later, he receives a parcel with a note: “Dear Sir, please
find enclosed a pirate’s outfit. The spotted handkerchief will cover
your bald head, and with your wooden leg, you will be just right as a
pirate.”
The man thinks this is terrible because they have just emphasized his
wooden leg and so he writes a rude letter of complaint.
A week passes and he receives another parcel and a note which says:
“Dear Sir, sorry about before, please find enclosed a monk’s habit. The
long robe will cover your wooden leg, and with your bald head, you will
really look the part.”
Now the man is really annoyed, since they have gone from emphasizing
his wooden leg to emphasizing his bald head, and he writes the company
a REALLY rude letter of complaint.
The next day he receives a small parcel and a note which reads; “Dear
Sir, please find enclosed a jar of caramel. Pour the jar of caramel
over your bald head, stick your wooden leg up your ass and go as a
candied apple

Reality Check

Some cool Pics

News Fifty

There is a new news aggregation site out there that a friend has put together.  It is called News Fifty.  It is a pretty cool concept where you can look up news from all the 50 states.  Go on over and check it out.

I have not gotten involved or said anything about the blog war between most Conservative Blogggers and Litte Green Footballs, but this is just too ridiculous.   The guys at Jumping in Pools have a pic of a autistic friend in their header, and one of the denizens of LGF added a comment about him on LGF:

Of course we know that Charles Johnson has said that any comment on a blog should be attributed to the blog owner, and should reflect who the blog owner is.  So when the people at Jumping in Pools  said that they should retract it, well Charles added this:

So it is only on other blogs that this rule applies.

I have not been to LGF in ages and have not seen how far down the spider hole the people over there have gotten.   I am always one that tried not to get involved with the blog wars and fights that go on, I am usually neutral.  I do not like to take sides, I have seen many blog wars and infighting amongst the Conservative side.   But this goes beyond the pale and I will never ever go to LGF ever again.
