Stonehenge is a ring of giant stones in a field in England. It’s about five thousand years old, and for centuries the experts have argued about what it was for. I visited on the longest day of the year and solved it before lunch.

Findings

  1. It’s a clubhouse. An unfinished one. You can tell because there’s no roof, no bar and no gift shop. Somebody ran out of money. I’ve heard that happens to people.
  2. The scientists say some of the stones were dragged here from very far away. Terrible location strategy. You build next to the stones, not the other way around.
  3. The sun rises right in line with it on the longest day of the year. That isn’t astronomy. That’s good architecture. The sun wanted a better view.

Recommendations

Finish the roof. Add a gold door. Put eighteen holes around it. Whoever built it would have wanted a golf course. Everyone wants a golf course. Ask anybody.

Conclusion

Mystery solved. I’ve sent this report to the experts, and a copy to the stones, in case they’re curious.
