Cool Memories by GYØ Ben

INSTRUCTIONS: Examine how a contemporary historical event either did not happen or was our fantasy.

The erection of Stonehenge

Now, I must begin this eye-popping report with the following statement: anyone who sniggered at the word "erection" should stop reading immediately.

Well, don't STOP, just... shh.

-----------

It has been reported that the wonderful structure of Stonehenge, Salisbury Plain, UK was one of two things: either a prehistoric time-telling device or the remains of a stone temple.

But I have recently unearthed some evidence that proves that this was all a publicity scam for a major political party.

In my local park, my friends and I were doing some digging for an archeological school project, and uncovered a horrifying truth in the form of an official looking letter from the White House.

"Dear Al,

The project is coming along nicely. If we can get those British folk to come on down to good ol’ American soil, we can win this lil’ election for those nice Democratic folk over here.

The next step, I was thunkin’, we should go on down to that purty stone place and hang a huge flag of lil’ ol’ me to convince those limeys that this is the way they gotta go.

I’ll be back real soon to check on ya, Al.

Have fun with our scheme, friend!

Yours sincerely,

Billy-bob Clinton"

----------

This letter provided startling revelations to me and my companions, and we decided to follow it up with a whole-scale investigation into who or what planned this all those years ago.

Before Clinton was elected, have you noticed that no-one spoke of, or even documented the existence of, Stonehenge?

After a bit of careful hacking, and looking into the source code of www.whitehouse.gov, we found Clinton's old password and username combination.

Look at these blueprints that we dug up from the White House's archives:

The place was used as a plotting location for George Bush Snr.'s overthrow - with Clinton and Gore getting together every night to discuss strategies in a location no-one would check, in the middle of the UK countryside. Thanks to ChildOfSai for these amazing shots.

So if any of you voted for Clinton back in the day, you'll now know that his success was born and died in a remote region of the UK.

This clearly proves that Stonehenge was clearly NOT erected (hey, stop that, you at the back) in the Prehistoric Era, but proved a useful tool for Clinton's Democratic rise to power in the early 1990s.
