Again With the Carparks ...

... seriously - it's like something out of Douglas Adams' improbability physics, the apparent correlation between the parking of cars and fascinating archaeological finds in the U.K.  Crazy.

How long before The Onion does a treatment of this, publishing a popular-science style article about the unique advantages archaeological sites provide for the development of parking areas in the United Kingdom?

OK, you've provoked me into thinking why the overlap of carparks and archaeology may not be improbable, and I think I'm getting somewhere. Will post soon, but I think it has a lot to do with the regulatory environment and development cycles. Oh, and probably cars.

Hmm...we have at least five car parks in this town...I wonder...

Mo, THAT is a promising inspiration - you know I'll keep an eye peeled for your professional and philosophical considerations. :)

Beth ... do you have a pickaxe??
