"it's a tourist attraction...a bunch of rocks"??? I suppose you think The Prince was just a simple Tweet between friends, or the Great Pyramid of Giza just a stack of rocks? The Henge is one of our most magnificent wonders of the ancient world to dismiss it as merely a "bunch of rocks" is childlike nonsense.

@ModernWizards suppose you treated it like glastonbury & threw youre empy beer cans everywhere & threw crap litter all around no dessecrating a site...??

[HermanTheNinja]

desecration of a site.....idiots should be allowed anywhere near the stones......dropping litter etc & making a mess around there is like walking into church & taking a piss in the corner & spray painting the pulpit.......shame on everyone shown on that clip

Always party time @Stonehenge

[hippytrash]

so sorry you think of it as a bunch of rocks. i hope that you are someday able to go and perhaps then you will change your opinion. it was one of the highlights of my life to experience it.

@TheAthena999 ok have a nice day too already saw the Google thing

[TheAthena999]

@manta965 Apparently, you're set on it being just a bunch of rocks. I can agree to disagree...I'm too busy playing with the new Google Doodle to debate the fact anymore today anyway lol Have a great day and check out the new Doodle. Preferably in FireFox, it's way cooler! One could say that's a bunch of awe inspiring balls :P

@TheAthena999 in a few hundred years your pile of rocks could mean something to thousands of people and we can never tell because no one around when it was built would be alive when this was built i don't think the creators thought in some oh few hundred or thousand years this will be a monument that will evoke..ect no they did it just to do it for what ever reason

[TheAthena999]

@failblorg that would be cool

peace

@manta965 as I've pointed out before....if a bunch of rocks can evoke unlimited feelings, thoughts, and perceptions of our universe, as it apparently does for some, then Stonehenge transcends any label. I have a bunch of rocks in my back yard that's a lifetime collection from places I've been...that, is merely a bunch of rocks because it inspires only me and occasionally my dog Jake. It has yet to inspire millions for centuries...see the difference now?"
