# Stonehenge opens to public. STONEHENGE, England (AP) - For the first time
in 16 years, ordinary observers of the summer solstice had permission to
spend the night at the prehistoric Stonehenge monument to watch the sun
rise on the year's longest day. Revelers were banned from holding solstice
ceremonies at the 5000-year-old Stonehenge site in 1985 after clashes with
police, and a four-mile exclusion order was later put in place. The stones
are the remnants of the last in a sequence of circular monuments aligned
along the rising of the sun at the midsummer solstice - the longest day of
the year. http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2567505774-cc9
# Stonehenge's new dawn. BED sheets are being ironed, druidical headdresses

and the simply curious when the sun rises over the Heel Stone at 4.44am
on Wednesday morning. http://www.alienzoo.com/news/p/200006200003.cfm
: What's y'r favorite solsticial festival? Where d'ya prefer to do solstice?

# The chain letter <http://www.nuketown.com/hoaxes/mcdonalds_heroin/> about
finding used hypodermic needles in McDonald's molecule pools is not true,
sez <http://www.chron.com/content/chronicle/columnists/galloway/2000/1/9/>

UrbanLegends.Com. There are no needles in pay phone coin return slots or
