And another thing, when he demonstrates how to "drop" a stone into a hole and he doesn't quite get in vertical first time, could this explain why some stones are tilted?

.o0O0o.

Often the bottom of the stones are rounded so the process of righting them, in the hole, is made easier. Have a look at Harold's Stones. How far, and in what direction, stones have slipped in three and a half thousand years is another question. Vertical stones look dull (in my experience). Defy gravity and create tension - but where does that leave Stonehenge ?
