    No idea where this thread belongs. Please move if you wish, but I chose not AH since it’s bound to appeal to many!

    I've seen the sun before. It's over rated.

    The Sun doesn't exist in Ireland, never has. That's just some farmer with a high powered torch aiming it in between them there rocks.

    I hear they've been doing it since the stone age.

    It was a solar powered torch.

    What is with all the wolfhounds? This is a new breed from the 19th century that most somehow believe to be ancient. It includes Borzoi and Great Dane.

    If I was fighting off questions about the authenticity of a reconstructed monument, the last thing I'd want arriving in on the optics would be 'Irish' wolfhounds.

    Some archaeologists are now controversially claiming that hippies and their African drums are a 50-year-old construct.
