Oh right, some gynaecologist from British Colombia thinks Stonehenge is a representation of a woman's rude bits and publishes his thoughts in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine. I'm cancelling my subscription for one.

Coming soon and equally as likely: an article on ovarian dysfunction by an archaeologist published in 'Antiquity'.

Call me a sceptic but some people have only one thing on their minds. He can't even get his facts right and has probably never been to see the site: "Perks adds. 'There is little sign of death; there are no tombs, because Stonehenge was a place of life and birth, not death, a place that looked to the future.' " Tosh there are no burials.
Also he trots out the good old ''There was a concept in Neolithic times of a great goddess or Earth Mother" line - failing apart from bugger-all evidence for this to notice that the stones as we see them are from the Bronze age.
Tch.

Replying to Rhiannon

Couldn't agree more, Rhiannon. I don't know about you, but what I keep in my knickers doesn't look *anything* like Stonehenge! Thank God! Or I'd be a friggin' tourist attraction.
;-)

Perhaps this North American fuckwit should start looking at his wife, or if he doesn't have one, some 'Gentlemen's Art' magazines a bit more closely before trotting out such nonsensical theories.

Oh, by the way Rhiannon, do you think that George W Bush looks like a penis? Shall i write an article on it?!
