I guess when you buy an island for $24, who knows what sort of bargain you might be picking up?  That 2nd pic down of Stonehenge, doesn't look a bit like Stonehenge to me. Where is it really? And are they yet finding crop circles in Central Park, and is the Statue of Liberty really a Druid Godess cleverly disguised?

Apparently, Paul, it's a distant relative named "Stonehange" as they spelled it in the caption under the second photo.  Wink

Lots of sites on the net seem to mis-spell Stonehenge as Stonehange. Has the Daily Mail joined in or does it really exist in Witshire as shown here?   We need a pic of it on Poe!

I don't think you'll find many power lines around Stonehenge Debbie, so if your husband planned on using his Remmingtonhenge razor, I think he might be out of luck. I guess that was the problem with megalithic men who weren't able to capatilise on the tourist trade of those wanting to see their handy-work.
