STONEHENGE

STONEHENGE.  When people think of Stonehenge, I assume that most people think about an ancient group of rocks arranged in a circle in Wiltshire, England.

Still others, when they think of Stonehenge, might recall the song by Spinal Tap in the movie This is Spinal Tap and the undersized prop that appeared on stage as the band was playing the song during a concert.  Apparently, the plans for the prop were mislabeled as 18" instead of 18'.

scene from This is Spinal Tap.  The Stonehenge Prop was not quite as impressive as the band had hoped.

The first time the band, Spinal Tap, saw the undersized prop was during a show.

I suppose one must be familiar with Missouri University of Science and Technology to think of this Stonehenge replica that I 'discovered' during my 90 minute walk in Rolla, Missouri early Friday morning.

The Missouri S&T Stonehenge is a partial reconstruction of Stonehenge, the ancient megalith located on Salisbury Plain 75 miles Southwest of London. It stands for many things; a lasting monument to man's drive for knowledge and engineering, the largest monument to ever be cut with a waterjet, and a link from the past into the modern. It was dedicated on June 20, 1984 or the summer solstice, at the site of the northwest edge of campus. Approximately 160 tons of granite were used in the monument. The rock was cut to the proper dimensions by Missouri S&T's Waterjet equipment.

After three consecutive days of managing not to have a proper workout or walk, I was able to break that streak in Rolla, Missouri early Friday morning.  'Discovering' Stonehenge on the campus of Missouri S&T was the high point of my morning walk.
