Sherwood Forest Disappearing

EDIT: Doc Sigma has a better link in his post.

An interesting story...oh well, I guess Robin Hood won't have a place to hide. Prince John had a plan all along...Thanks to logging! That fiend! :?

What do you think of this story?

I'm thinkin' Arby's.
Who sleeps shall awake, greeting the shadows from the sun
Who sleeps shall awake, looking through the window of our lives
Waiting for the moment to arrive...
Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...

I think it's a shame that the forest has gotten decimated by development and all that. They should at least try to preserve what's left...

I doubt this is really very accurate, partially because it's on a site with the letters A, O and L in the name and also because Nottingham Forrest is a National Heritage site and therefore protected.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! For the f*cking win.

I often wondered where she stored the stuff she stole. Like, not many warehouses are large enough to contain the Statue of Liberty.

And even if she did have the space to hide it, what would she do with it? Is she an obsessive collector, or would she sell the Red Square on the black market?

Sherwood Forest used to extend all the way to Sheffield in the past. I can see some of the remains of it out of my window (I live just outside Sheffield, but what I can see is not considered part of Sherwood anymore even though it used to be.)

Does anyone remember the game shows she had? :lol:
gforce422 is awesome because:
-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.
