The giant: Anglo-Saxon, somewhere between 700 -1100 AD. Link here. NSFW.
After 12 months of new, hi-tech sediment analysis, the National Trust has now revealed the probable truth and experts admit they are taken aback. The bizarre, enigmatic Cerne Giant is none of the above, but late Saxon, possibly 10th century.
Martin Papworth, a senior archaeologist at the trust, said he was somewhat “flabbergasted … He’s not prehistoric, he’s not Roman, he’s sort of Saxon, into the medieval period. I was expecting 17th century.”
"This is not what was expected,” he said. “Many archaeologists and historians thought he was prehistoric or post-medieval, but not medieval. Everyone was wrong, and that makes these results even more exciting.”
Anglo-Saxon god Heil or Heilith, is the giant Heilith?

Buybacks vs dividends: wow,wow, wow. I may have misheard but it sounds like Jim Cramer just said that buybacks are "worthless" vis a vis dividends-vs-buyback argument. He must be reading the blog. With huge pullback, how much are those buybacks helping the average retail investor?
