This week's weirds

Something(s) more for your imagination.

I've always been fascinated by America's Stonehenge. Whether it's from the 18th c. or something far older and weirder hardly matters. It just seems neato kobeato. And I love the picture used for this article. The way it's framed makes the girl look like a troll who's just finished off one meal and is waiting to jump on the next hapless victim. (But then, that's how my imagination works.)

Here's good news. You don't have to go to the North Pole to visit Santa because Father Christmas is buried in Ireland!

And who can resist ancient tablets? What? You can? Well, here's some Ancient Assyrian gossip for you.

For a mini-cornucopeia of weird, here's National Geographic's top ten archaeological finds. I particularly like the vampire exorcism skull, the crop circles which revealed a new Stonehenge-like monument, and the mysterious inscribed slate of Jamestown.

Wow, you just never know what's hidden in the walls. Because mostly? The walls don't talk and keep their secrets well.

Lastly: have you been sleeping under the interstate or pushing all your worldly possessions around in a shopping cart? If you lived in Bristol, you might have a future in archaeology.

I've been to America's Stonehenge twice, both times on Samhain (a cross-quarter day). It's a spooky, mysterious place. Very cool.

I want to go! Oh well, some day.

If you ever make it out this way, I'll go with you. :)

wow, I have never even heard of America's Stonehedge or most of this other stuff.

I'd heard of A's S before, but then I'm into the weird sh*t. Most of the rest was new to me.
