Is that not a cool name, or what?

Apple is building a ring fortress in Cupertino, Calfornia in the hopes that it’ll keep out the ‘Droids.

What is a ring fortress? Is that anything like a Wagner Ring Cycle?

Perhaps the Danes can now protect themselves against the bearded barbarians by hiding in these fortresses.

Vallø Borgring is thought to date back to the late tenth century and the reign of Harald Bluetooth, the king who Christianised Denmark and Norway.

He also made the conquest hands free.

Judging only by the photo it seems like a fairly obvious landform. They’re only just discovering it now?

A circular fort seems like a reasonably intuitive shape for a fort. Does it have to be inspired by somebody else? What... They couldn’t think of a circle on their own?
