Lying Stones
**The first link is an actual essay, in its entirety, that S. Gould
wrote about
lying stones. I love his writing and the world is a poorer place now that he
is gone. The second and third links are links to the book which contains
the essay.

If you want to read about another of these, check out the Cardiff Giant,
