Stonehenge, Druids, and more
A number of my friends were left shaking their heads by these pictures of the solstice festivities at Stonehenge this year. Normally one is only permitted to approach the stones; so why allow a mob scene like this?
A total of 24,094 people witnessed dawn break over the ancient stones, compared with 18,700 last year. . .Latter-day druidophiles might also take a look at this article on the new installation of Lindow Man at the British Museum -- likely a victim of druidic sacrifice.Many apparently heeded advice to come by public transport and fewer cars than previous years were at the scene. . .
Druids, Pagans, hedonists and hippies were among those who attended an all-night party at the stones.

I have always wanted to go to this.
I just think it would be cool to see all the odd folks come out of the woodworks.
For the same reason I want to go to Punxatawney to see Phil one of these Groundhog Days. I think it is one of those weird experiences that would be really amusing.

Lezbos and drippies have nothing at all to do with Cro Magnon man's activities at the site. The fact that they seem to think they're entitled to go and "venerate" stonehenge makes a complete mockery of the whole solstice event. An event that I have no doubt the original builders took very seriously indeed. It is a pity that they aren't around now. They might sacrifice some of the idiots who turn up.
