TV last night

So, I'm watching Secrets of the Dead last night on PBS - Murder at Stonehenge. A body had been found buried a short distance from the site and they were investigating the usual, who was he, what time period, who killed him, etc.. He had been struck in the back of the neck with an edged weapon that had mostly severed his vertabrae, but not gone completely through. As they were waiting on the results of the carbon dating, they had some experimental archeologists hacking at sheep necks with various weapons, from a Roman gladius to a Saxon spatha (which made me think of my pals at HACA). Eventually, the body was placed in the Saxon era.

When that finished, I switched to Witchblade where the 'plot' involved druidic sacrifice and they kept showing Stonehenge in the background. Weird, huh? After that, Battlebots just seemed to fit in with the rest of the night.

Maybe it is a sign that you ought to go visit Stonehenge.
Worth a visit I must say. Just ignore the noise of the cars on the freeway next to the site.
