| #5 Until I looked at the link, I thought they were referring to the Archbishop of Canterbury. Now that I've read the link, can't say I can see much difference.... |

| #4 I believe that the English recently gave the stone back to Scotland. |

| #3 My bad. They don't wear the stone on their heads, they sit on it. Of course. It is entirely within the realm of possibility that some canny Scots fobbed off a fake [Stone of Destiny] on Edward I, seven hundred years ago, hiding the original coronation stone where it would never be found. One story particularly satisfying to Scottish nationalists with long memories claims that Edward actually took the rough rock used to hold down the cover of the cess-pit at Scone Castle, and that subsequent English monarchs have ceremoniously seated themselves on this medieval plumbing accessory for their coronations ever since 1308. Well done, Mel. You sneaky papist. |

| #2 The Stone of Destiny, traditional coronation stone of Scottish kings and queens,... I looked it up. It weighs 150 kilos. Them Scottish Kings and Queens musta had strong necks and flat heads. ... was stolen 700 years ago by English king Edward I Didn't Mel Gibson kick his ass? |

| #1 Last night, nobody at English Heritage, owner of Stonehenge, was available to comment on Dr Léwis's suggestion. They were all laughing too hard? |
