Stonefridge; Monument for the Ages

From Sploid. You know it's a slow news day when you've checked Fark, Guido Fawkes, the Guardian, the Globe and Mail, the Province, BoingBoing, News of the Weird and the ever-reliable Weekly World News and you only find one story worth posting.

This is it.

STONEFRIDGE!

Most people who visit England's historic Stonehenge monument come away disappointed.

In photographs, the ancient whatever-it-is looks impressive with the sun shining through its stone gates and the majestic silence and all that.

But in reality, the sun never shines at all because that's how England is, and there's a huge freeway right next to the monument so all you hear is traffic, and the whole place is overrun with dirty hippies wearing hooded druid robes.

Luckily, there's a much better option.

This is recycling at its most creative. Truly, the artist should be very, very proud, if for no other reason than it keeps those loopy neo-Druids out of my way. Adam Horowitz is reported to be the artist. Hmmm, isn't he in Beastie Boys? O! How the mighty have fallen!
