#1 boasts important examples of lichen said to date to about 1100 In that case we need to get the UN involved, in order to start a worldwide campaign to save the Lichens!

#2 It was probably Muslims. The stones probably remind them of pigs or something and cause them to get their panties in a bunch. Next, they'll be demanding to have the stones removed because they're so offensive, and of course the Brit government will happily oblige.

#4 "If the power of magic and the power of prayer works the people who have done this should start to feel very uncomfortable," she said.

I imagine they feel just fine, then.

#7 I'd start my investigation with ex-sergeant majors, they tend to have a fixation with painting rocks.

#8 im not understaning whats funy about this. pagan is an old and peaceful religion and shuld have respect like other. i thought we care about freedom of religion. it is hipocrisy to get mad at taliban blowing up hindu statues of gods but not something holy to others. remeber a prayer and spell can have as much power as a fatwa you guys always wory about.

#9 Honestly Muck4doo, if spells were so effective and every prayer were answered, then why hasn't your large intestine leapt straight up through your neck and throttled your brain by now?

#11 Be nice now, BH ... I stopped saying things like that after the guy who had sex in St. Patrick's Cathedral (NYC) died of a heart attack at age 38 :P

#12 I don't do Fatwa's, and really I just tried the spell. Let me review is with you and maybe you can tell me where I'm going wrong:

The spell required a picture of you, the blood of a black cock, and an offering of wine made from grapes picked during a full moon. Of course I had to substitute for the items that weren't readily available. So I used some KFC extra crispy instead of rooster blood, a bottle of MD 20/20 from the Qwiki Mart (bonus - a wino was standing outside with his ham pressed up against the window, so I figure the full moon thing is on), and this was the best I could come up with for a picture of you Muck4Doo. Do you think making the KFC extra crispy was a bad move?

Anyhoo, here's my attempt at a prayer:

LORD in the name of thy most holy servant St. Attila, the bludgeoner of idotarians, I do most humbly beseech THEE to encourage the greater intestine of THY lowest creation known as Muck4doo, to, in THY grace and mercy, jump straight through his neck and, in the goodness of time, throttle that brain which YOU have given him in evidence of YOUR infinite capacity for mirth and, by THY grace, punishing his naughtiness in THY sight.

Amen.

#13 that picture isa not me but at least your not use this rong picture. this picture look more like me. also you need substitute chicken for tofu. what im not understand is why you bother gathering materials if your going to do prayer instead.

#16 And if the Muslims take over what happens to the Pagans? yup, you guessed it.

That's frickin' hilarious! They better ask nice too, or the SgtMaj might hand them a can of Brasso and point them toward the CG's building!

#18 Paganism is becoming more family oriented: Alcohol ban a first for fire festival.

Heavy drinking at a fire festival, sounds like a recipe for a Screaming Class "A" Fire - a shipboard term.

#19 I always like having a few pagans in the platoon, let them miracle up shit w/chicken bones from the chow hall. Can't be too choosey I always say, plus I always liked to keep all the bases covered just in case.

#21 Estimates for cleaning up the Neolithic circle, are now put at between £30,000 and £100,000. Doesn't that sounds kinda steep for stripping paint off of rocks? Is the UNESCO going to do the work?
