What's a clitoris?

Not close to what I've seen. Picasso might see a resemblance though.

I remember some old movie about King Arthur with Cornell Wilde. In it there was a group of semi-nude women dancing around a stone column(phallus symbol) during a human sacrifice. Wilde saves the day as usual.

Good Heavens, Pokey!! You've just set off a creative impulse in me. I'm going to write a politically incorrect pro-male play and call it "The Vagina Monoliths."

[judgeandjury]

if this is so cool, then why do feminists have to remove every geographic marker called "squaw" which supposedly means the same thing?

if this is so cool? Huh?

But there is no evidence of any burials near Stonehenge...

Actually, there is evidence of burials or at least bodies at Stonhenge. I found the article a while ago, 5-23-2003.

I understand that a professor of proctology from Stanford is now proclaiming an alternate theory.

To what would you attribute the shape of the Grand Tetons?

What's a clitoris?

There's no such thing. It's all government disinformation that if you found one you could make a woman happy and content. It's just an ancient myth that attempts to give men hope.

The over the top looney left has compltely gone 'round the bend. Boggles the saner more pramatic mind!

...a few have even argued that its rings acted as a docking pad for alien spaceships.

... it is a giant fertility symbol, constructed in the shape of the female sexual organ.

It's both -- it's a docking pad for alien spaceships and it's a symbol of a female sexual organ.

Kind of reminds me of that old beer commerical. Tastes great -- less filling.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

This is ridiculous. Everyone knows that Stonehenge is actually an early sculpture by Georgia O'Keefe.

To what would you attribute the shape of the Grand Tetons?

Mine. You deserved that one.
