2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

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.
