    That was in the library book I'd borrowed. They say that when Archimedes was killed he was yelling that they should not harm the circles. There's conjecture that he made this device, but if not, he may have been working on a similar computer. Amazing how people can ponder on things and work them out when they're not distracted by TV and online chat forums.

    That's why Land Rover owners are a bit smarter than others, they spend time under the stars, I mean under their cars, pondering things.

    I read an article on the peat bog man that was found (probably 15-20 years ago now). The intricacy of the Celtic jewellery was amazing.

    During WWII there were some allied air bases in the British Isles. On one island (I can't remember as I read this about 12 years ago) they unearthed some massive chains that they used for hauling bogged trucks out, they were stronger than anything the military had at the time and they were ancient!!! Quite amazing.

    Religiously the holy days and gods of the Celts corresponded with many of those in the near east (near Troy actually). I just happened to be talking to a druid recently.

    The Celts were great with iron, unfortunately iron cars don't do too well in boggy conditions, and their reliance of iron 4WDs led to their demise. It wasn't until the British peoples mastered the craft of aluminium (brimabright specifically) that they were able to master land (Land Rover) and sky (Spitfire).

    Brimabright did lead to some nautical demises though. Especially when it came into contact with an Exocet missile in the Falklands- which is what that skyrover reminds me off. But again we digress into more recent history.
