I want to build a Stonehenge, Dad.

Oh, my heart is singing with joy. As much as I shrug off mysticism and wicca (they’re neat, but not for me), I do get really excited about the mystery behind ancient structures. The pyramids are a good example. I think my favorite is Stonehenge.

BoingBoing, doing their job, reported a story about a man in Michigan who has figured out a way (possibly THE way) that ancient Britons could have created Stonehenge.

Here’s a link to the page on Discovery.ca. It’s the last item on the page, and there’s a video of the story. It’s so cool!

The guy is a former construction worker with a penchance for moving heavy things. Sound like anyone familiar? His name is Wally Wallington, and he has his own website that I’m SURE I’ll be perusing for the rest of the day, as I figure out how moving heavy stuff can become part of my library science thesis.

This makes me want to build another rock wall on my parent’s farm. Or maybe a replica of the Easter Island thingies.
