Why am I reading this article?

Memo to self: "Get a life".

[Porterville]

Damn!!! She's hot!!! Can I borrow your figurine for the day???

Here is a clay figurine of my chick:

[Little Bill]

Most of them were fat and ugly, this womans selfesteem movent makes want to Barf, I think I will barf anyway.

As a guy, I think wife and kids are they secure, well housed and fed, then I think deatroying my foes, more psyco trash from a grad student.

"Perks believes the labia majora could be represented by the outer stone circle and possibly the outer mound, with the inner circle serving as the labia minora, the altar stone as the clitoris and the empty geometric center outlined by bluestones representing the birth canal."

Hmmm... sounds like maybe it's been awhile for poor Dr. Perks.

[IronJack]

That this clown finds a sexual inspiration for Stonehenge says a lot more about him than about the builders of Stonehenge. This is a case of Freudian projection writ large.

[StriperSniper]

Built like a brick stone $#!*house observatory?

Doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

;-)

[Straight Vermonter]

the altar stone as the clitoris and the empty geometric center outlined by bluestones representing the birth canal.

I'm no doctor but that doesn't seem right to me. Maybe there is something Mrs. SV has not been telling me.

[Ditter]

What a crock! I've been to Stonehenge, there is nothing feminine about it.

[Ole Okie]

I visited Stonehenge while working in London in the '70's. On one visit, there was a male and a female off to one side "getting it on", which surprised an old Okie.

I was told that England has a dearth of places for boy and girl to go to do what comes naturally, so they take advantage of what opportunity offers.

Do you suppose this is data that the gynecologist who proposed this absurd "Stonehenge is vaginal" theory needs?

[BradyLS]

Reminds of an old Weekend Update bit with Norm McDonald. To paraphrase: "Scientists have recently discovered that while prehistoric man was hunting woolly mammoths and battling sabre-toothed tigers, prehistoric woman was sitting on her butt, eating chocolate bon-bons.

[MikalM]

Okay...let's see if Dr. Perks can find the "female" features in THIS massive Neolithic British monument (the Cerne Abbas Giant):

[MikalM]

...and in case someone with a lack of respect for our Stone Age heritage removes the previous pic, you can find it here.

[Eastbound]

Next stop on his itinerary is St. Louis to survey the arch. Then on to McDonalds.

[arthurus]

the guy has a frigid wife?

[Libloather]

"It must have taken enormous effort to smooth the stones," Perks, co-author of the journal paper, told Discovery News.

That's usually said about the guys - neh?

[ChadGore]

Bill Clinton going on a pilgrimage.

[Slip18]

It's time for the tin foil hat.

[VadeRetro]

You've got a lot of nerve posting that filth here!

[Old Professer]

Perks believes the labia majora could be represented by the outer stone circle and possibly the outer mound, with the inner circle serving as the labia minora, the altar stone as the clitoris and the empty geometric center outlined by bluestones representing the birth canal.

I sure hope this guy doesn't dig up a KFC 18 piece bucket of bones; he'd rewrite the evolution of fowl.

the early Celts believed in such a goddess. Hundreds of figurines representing the idea of an Earth Mother, he said, have been found in Europe.

I'm always suspicious of these stories about Earth Mother figurines. Why they aren't just prehistoric Barbie dolls? How many thousands of Barbie "figurines" are they going to find when they dig us up in a couple thousand years? "Oh, look at this, they worshipped the goddess of clothes!"
