Wha? News of the Weird

I’m blatantly pro-bear in pretty much every case. Yesterday someone told me that a mutual friend’s son in law was attacked by a bear while camping. I immediately asked if the bear was ok. He ran off. Apparently the SIL needed some stitches, but he’ll be fine.

Of course 2020 has to have a random bird and shark flying duo, I mean why not!

Stonehenge: Sarsen stones origin mystery solved

The origin of the giant sarsen stones at Stonehenge has finally been discovered with the help of a missing piece of the site which was returned after 60 years...No-one knew where it was until Robert Phillips, 89, who was involved in those works, decided to return part of it last year.

Is it wrong that my first thought was, " He's 89 and was afraid that if he dropped dead his family might find it in his belongings?"
Also, it's kind of cool that the stones origins are that close. I wonder how many surviving structures made of the same stones from that time period are still standing.

And it says he returned "part" of it. Why not all of it?

I was reading about this yesterday and it is cool. An interesting story and I love when science figures things out like this.

When I initially clicked on the link, I expected to find this classic gem.

However, I owe you a great deal of thanks for introducing me to a song I never knew was missing from my life.

What if the fox knows the meaning of Stonehenge, but we don’t know what the fox says?
