The Druids? Didn't they build Stonehenge?

Stonehenge? What's that? Is that anything like Carhenge in North Dakota?

Come to think of it, I seem to remember hearing something about "Stonehenge" in This is Spinal Tap. It seemed to involve dancing dwarves or something.

Yeah, the Druids are the ones that claimed to have built Stonehedge.

Nah, Stonehenge predates the Druids by several thousand years. Some British historian back in the 16th century gave them the credit since they were the oldest people in Britain that anyone had a proper name for at the time.

Still, there are some modern "pagans" who will swear that Stonehenge is theirs. I guess its construction is sort of the only accomplishment they can lay claim to so they tend to guard it quite jealously.

Not sure, but it was a whole lot better than the first two attempts: Straw-henge and Stick-henge.

Actually, I believe there might still be some doubt about who built Stonehenge.
