New structure found at Stonehenge
Exciting news out of England this morning!
"Archaeologists have discovered a wooden version of British prehistoric monument Stonehenge at the same site, the project's leader told Reuters on Thursday. Using radar, the archaeologists found a circular ditch less than one kilometre away from the iconic stone circle, which is thought to date back to the Neolithic period 2,000 to 4,000 years ago.
"This finding is remarkable," said project leader Vince Gaffney, professor of archaeology at the University of Birmingham.
"It will completely change the way we think about the landscape around Stonehenge."

The Creeper: Wall Sculpture
The folks over at Design Toscano are selling a creepy wall sculpture titled The Creeper, designed by artist Liam Manchester.
"Drawing upon the rich stories of the ancient druids who once lived near his English manor home, British artist Liam Manchester created this sculpture to appear as if it is floating mid-air! What you don’t see is as important as what you do with the stunning effect of “negative space” balancing the matte black, textured interior. Cast in quality designer resin and ingeniously hand-painted exclusively for Toscano."

I-Dosing: The New Teen Digital Drug
Wired Magazine online reports of a concern in Oklahoma on teens getting high from MP3 digital audible tones. This was first reported from Oklahoma News 9.
Music tracks purchased from online dealers are believed to offer the same affects as marijuana, cocaine, peyote or opium. The report explains that the sounds are bi neural or two-tone technology designed to alter brain waves and mental conditions. Oklahoma officials are more concerned that it could lead teens into looking for an even greater high and actually try real drugs. "Kids are going to flock to these sites just to see what it is about and it can lead them to other places,” Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs spokesman Mark Woodward informed News 9.
One track is available on YouTube titled, Gates of Hades (Listen at your own discretion.) I listened to the first few minutes through my computer speakers to the sounds of vibrating tones suddenly varying high and low. I would think such possible effects could be due to being enveloped in the sounds (when wearing headphones) while the mind wonders what's going on around them, possibly causing paranoia or other mental reactions.
This subject reminds me of the classic psychological moment in A Clockwork Orange when Alex played by Malcolm McDowell is being rehabilitated. That's something I don't want to experience.

Possible Chupacabra sighting in Hood County, Texas
"A barn in Hood County, Texas, has become ground zero in the hunt for the chupacabra.
Earlier this week, animal control officer Frank Hackett shot and killed what was unquestionably one of the ugliest creatures to ever walk the planet. That much we know. What's less clear is whether or not the departed creature was the elusive goat-sucking beast.
Interestingly, that wasn't the only chupacabra sighting around Hood County. A second creature was spotted and killed several miles away. Both appear to be either hairless coyotes, extremely ugly dogs, or, who knows? Maybe the thing they call el chupacabra."
