;’) The ‘druids’ might, but they can’t hit the floor with a handful of grapes.

The Neo-Druids have been causing trouble over the display of human remains found at Stonehenge.

Romancing the Stones (New Yorker 4/21/2014):

"[T}hey were expressing indignation over English Heritage’s decision to display at the new visitor center cremated human remains that were excavated inside the henge, as well as human bones found in a nearby burial mound and in a flat grave. The Druids consider the exhibit degrading."

Far as I can tell, the Neo-Druid pot heads have more in common with the ancient Scythians than with the ancient Druids.

considering the number of people who have ever lived on Earth and if most of them were buried 3-5 feet underground...it seems to me that you couldn’t dig a hole anywhere without turning up someone!!!

Okay, it’s a weird thing to figure out, but using one estimate of the number of people who have ever lived on the Earth (40 billion), that leaves about 1373 square feet per person. And of course, some remains were not buried, and even those which were are often very old, or in conditions where they won’t be preserved.

It’s really too bad that they aren’t remains.
