And yet, against all odds, this Stone is still standing.

It was an army truck during WWII. Only tree within three or four hundred miles.

Driver a blonde?

the world’s most remote tree (an acacia in Africa) that is in the Guiness Book of World Records. At some point someone backed into it with their vehicle they were driving.

We have an unlimited supply of "most remote trees." One is always more remote than all the other.

So, is it Bush’s fault, or AGW?

Wouldn’t you want to lay down for a bit after standing up for 4k years straight?

If that’s all they’ve got, they’d better redo it pronto. :’)

If it weren’t the only one. :’) There was a 19th century restoration done, I think at Avebury, and under one of the tipped stones was found the remains of a formerly well-to-do Englishman of the 16th c or so (dated based on the coins found in the pocket), apparently killed while trying to use the site as a quarry. :’)

Was the car driven by a man named "Griswold?"

Ha, that was my first thought.

He said: “It’s a tragedy, the stone has snapped and it’s a real mess.”

I hate when that happens.

Yes. Tragic. Yet people still go to look at The Old Neck of the Mountain...

LOL...It’s still worth a trip up there, if only to visit Clark’s. :)
