In its day, the construction of Stonehenge was an impressive engineering feat, requiring commitment, time and vast amounts of manual labor. In its first phase, Stonehenge was a large earthwork; a bank and ditch arrangement called a henge, constructed approximately 5,000 years ago. It is believed that the ditch was dug with tools made from the antlers of red deer and, possibly, wood. The underlying chalk was loosened with picks and shoveled with the shoulderblades of cattle. It was then loaded into baskets and carried away. Modern experiments have shown that these tools were more than equal to the great task of earth digging and moving. - Orbiter -- Crew
The in-flight crew escape system is provided for use only when the orbiter is in controlled gliding flight and unable to reach a runway. This would normally lead to ditching. The crew escape system provides the flight crew with an alternative to water ditching or to landing on terrain other than a landing site. The probability of the flight crew surviving a ditching is very small. - Anna Nicole Smith -- New York

Iron Age returned to Eastern State several times in 1995 and 1996 creating stunning site specific pieces to help raise funds for the crumbling old penitentiary. Halloween of both years saw the production of “Haunted Cellblocks,” a macabre tour of the prison’s darker history. Both Halloween years were huge hits with lines wrapping from the front gates and around the walls of the prison each of the 7 nights the shows ran. During the summer Iron Age produced the “Bastille Day Spectacle” in which audiences saw the re-creation of the events leading up to, and including, the storming of the infamous French prison. These shows culminated with Marie Antoinette standing on the towering walls tossing cake to the thousands of spectators and actors below. - The Misfits -- New Jersey

Unique shopping opportunities can be found in Adventureland at Disneyland California. The [M]erchandise is more exotic and "adventure oriented" in this section of the park than at the stores in other "lands." - Time Travel -- Cases
Since the time of Wells and Einstein, there has been a continuing literary fascination with time travel, and especially with the paradoxes that seem to confront any genuine time traveller (something that Wells neglected to investigate). The classic example is the so- called "granny paradox", where a time traveller inadvertantly causes the death of his granny when she was a small girl, so that the traveller's mother, and therefore the traveller himself, were never born. In which case, he did not go back in time to kill granny . . . and so on.
