I don't think I've ever posted this, but have shared it a lot at work and on the phone, if you dig up dead people and old cities for a livin' don't be offended, but laugh with me or at you, your choice.
But I have noticed a lot latlely every time I sit done to eat and for nothing better to do I turn on the TV and it seems like there is a show on trying to explain Stonehenge, now this is silly cause we all know it was build out of boredom on year during re-run season. (Please send Grant Money, a new theroy has unfolded.
)
But did you ever notice that any time they don't know what it is it has religious or ceramonial significance?
Well I got a theory, 3000 years from now a bunch of Ark-e-olly-jests will be digging up a farm in the midwest, ocupied last in the late 20th century. Well they don't know squat about any thing they find, but they have seen it before and so it's important.
Well they dig at the house, and sift the soil, make grids and record everyting they find and it's similar to the last site. Now they move to the barn, same thing and also with the machine shed.
Well between the machine shed and the barn the metal detector goes crazy, they dig and in a circle with no signs of a building being there they find: beer bottles, cultavator shovels, mower sections, horse shoes, old lawn mowers engines, a leaf spring and the tail gate off a 1968 Ford pickup and much other "junk", this is all in a circle. They don't know what this stuff is, but its vaulable to the late 20th Century Farm Culture, cause they find it in the houses, barns and machine sheds they do digs on.
In the center of the circle is another circle with nothing in it. So they send a soil sample to the lab out of this circle. Lab report say "there was a mulberry tree growing there when this stuff was put down over a several year period of time."
Conclusion: "Farmers in the late 20th century worships mulberry trees and offered valuble goods to the "Mulberry Tree God."
You may now wipe off yer screen. Do make an offering next chance you get. J. Sterling Morton started Arbor Day so farmers on the Great Plains had a place to put their junk.
