Nice topic but i have been to stonehenge an this is merely a restoration techneque that they did years ago on the stones when they started to crumble!
Aparently they had to poor concrete into some of the stones which is why it appears to be smooth!
The reason it is dark black in the pic is because it has obviosly been raining (as normal)
You can actually go there an ask about the process and how they did it!
thats what we did anyhow because we picked up on it straight away!
Sorry to burst anyones bubble!

Dont get me wrong stonehenge is a wonderful beautiful mysterious and fantastic place!
Another not to far from stonehenge is Avebury! some of the stones in that are bigger than the ones in stonehenge and its 3 big circles!

I visited Stonehenge two years ago and I don't remember seeing one of the stones with what appeared to be a rectangular slab in it. I think that would have caught my attention. I will be going there again in about two weeks and I will search carefully.
I have often thought of the crop circle phenomenon as metaphorically very similar to the function of the monolith in Arthur Clarke's 2001 since one of their functions seems to be to accelerate or stimulate the evolution of human consciousness.
