Include pseudosurrealist deleted remark somehow - Stonehenge built to 'give something to future historians and conspiracy idiots to talk about (apart from the weather, and the non-existent unwatchable TV). 82.44.143.26 (talk) 19:20, 22 March 2010 (UTC) 82.44.143.26 (talk) 19:20, 22 March 2010 (UTC) 82.44.143.26 (talk) 19:20, 22 March 2010 (UTC) 82.44.143.26 (talk) 19:20, 22 March 2010 (UTC) 82.44.143.26 (talk) 19:20, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

I feel your pain. I didn't think it was too bad of an edit and I think it deals directly with the woo I've heard over the years about Stonehenge. — Sincerely, Neveruse / Talk / Block 19:22, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

'Converse of spending the kids' inheritance concept' - (doing things specifically to annoy the above groups) - and possibly actually the case in some instances. Other RWusers welcome to apply the idea elsewhere. 82.44.143.26 (talk) 19:40, 22 March 2010 (UTC) 82.44.143.26 (talk) 19:40, 22 March 2010 (UTC) 82.44.143.26 (talk) 19:40, 22 March 2010 (UTC) 82.44.143.26 (talk) 19:40, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

'Actually' Stonehenge in its earlier incarnations was an alien spaceship geo-energy power-up point. The locals got so annoyed with alien litter louts/(insert other 'stupid tourist stereotypes') that they knocked a couple of stones over, so the alien-tourists went elsewhere. 82.44.143.26 (talk) 17:34, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Stonehenge evolved over a long period, and probably served many different faiths - including the present assortment. When not otherwise used it served as a venue for rock concerts. Anna Livia (talk) 16:23, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Events c 2500 BC[edit]

The construction of Stonehenge is being discussed - and the central coordinating committee get representations from the local NIMBYs, and persons denouncing it as a blot on the landscape and/or destroying the skyline, a monstrous carbuncle, 'why import stone from Wales when we have perfectly good mudbrick?', while various National Unions of Stone Hauliers and Stone Masons etc (Nation in this context = (part of) Salisbury Plain) have bitter demarcation disputes - the monument being constructed in the (long separated) intervals between strikes.
