Bad Rocks

My goodness, the things you do find surfing innocent archeology blogs: Why Stonehenge Must Go.  Just for the entertainment value, try reading that and marking off every factual or scientific inaccuracy you spot¹.

I think it's pretty clear that when a person refers to hirself as a True $GROUP_MEMBER, se's gone round the bend in some way or another (though exceptions can be made for sarcasm).  Mr. Penfold (no relation) hits Monster Raving Looney in his very first paragraph. 

Added, some hours later: Having read some more of the site, I begin to suspect it may be a scam.  The man claims (on the page about the evils of Tarot, whose images have "known gremlin-attracting properties") that he doesn't even use 3x5 cards because he can feel Satan "lurking in the cardboard"--all playing cards are evil, y'see, and 3x5 cards are just too close in shape.  Dude.  This cannot be for real, can it?
