The Malaysian Stonehenge

August 31st, 2009 No comments

During our stay in Kuala Lumpur, Karen and I stumbled on something quite unexpected: Stonehenge.

In the middle of a park, located between the Planetarium and the Aviary, a miniature Stonehenge has been erected. Its purpose is locked away, shrouded in mystery.

I wonder if people make pilgrimages to it during the solstice.

The article below was this morning’s morning coffee, which failed to be published due to technical difficulties. Please accept it as an after-work coffee instead.

We begin this morning with a quick glance at serious news.

In Iran, British embassy staff have been arrested, as the authorities continue to blame Britain and the United States for voter anger at rigged election results.

In Honduras, President Manuel Zelaya has been exiled to Costa Rica in a military coup. Venezuela is threatening military intervention.

Will art critics be replaced with pigeons? A recent study from Japan has shown that pigeons can be train to discern “good” art from “bad”.

Crop circles in the UK are apparently not made by visiting aliens or teenagers with too much time on their hands. Instead, they are indicative of the existence of 6,000-year-old tombs, which interfere with plant growth on the surface.

Photo archive: a visit

A couple of years ago, my mother and sister paid a visit to me in London. My mother had turned sixty a couple of months earlier, and we were all going to Prague for a week to celebrate. But first, we toured London.

They also left London briefly to the lands of Stonehenge and Sheep.
