You can't really better Rob Davis aka RJL /Einstein /Dr Stuart Love etc for unconscious humour but another researcher and "Dr " has pretensions for the title . This from the portal is a good start ,explains the source of the term "mooning " .

Very disappointed, he hasn't even noticed the all important nipple alignments.


There's a few Egyptian paintings with differing "angles " and measure from the Cerne giant that seem to have gone "unresearched " , look forward to them .


Yes, that big club of his must point to something.


Orion and a "stargate" , if you believe Peter Knight .


He believes it and is very sincere.


Sincerity doesn't equate with accuracy though .
I haven't seen his figures only this mention "Using a specialist computer programme, Peter plotted the night sky as it would have appeared to our Iron Age ancestors and found that at that time the shape of the club in the constellation of Orion’s club would have risen directly above the figure on the hillside. He suggests that during the Iron Age a “stargate”, a starless gap in the sky, would have also been aligned with Orion’s club."
If that is what he claims then there are big problems .The difference between the rise position of orion in 800 BC ,the earliest date for the IA and today is 9 degrees ,if we go to the end of the IA the difference is only 4 degrees .
The real problem is that the club is aligned to 118 degrees and at no time in the IA was Orion anywhere near rising on the horizon as seen from the giant at that azimuth .You would have to go back to about 6000BC for that to be the case .


Well I went to his talk a couple of weeks ago not knowing anything about him or his beliefs. I assumed it was going to be about dowsing as it was organised by the local dowsing club and I was interested to learn more instead of just listening about it. Well it wasn't and I've never been so bored in all my life and couldn't wait for it to finish, but I will say that if you two got together in a discussion you would head tennis for weeks without one of you giving way as neither of you are for turning if you believe you are right. That's not being rude to either of you just how you both come across to me.


There is a major difference between believing you are right and proving it . If you are right and it is not a matter of opinion it can take time to point out where the other person has misunderstood or got their facts wrong . Sometimes people are just unwilling to accept they are wrong and it takes others to point their mistakes .Surely it is better to point out mistakes , despite it taking time , rather than let the mistakes continue in the public domain .It takes two and you are equally capable of head tennis .


He isn't here so I can't answer back for him but he is the type that would say exactly the same as you have just said George. A discussion between the two of you would be fascinating to listen to.
