There was also the idea that the Wall was an old particle accelerator, although I personaly never found any evidence for it, logical or otherwise.<BR> <BR>> From: gerryq@indigo.ie<BR>> To: urth@lists.urth.net<BR>> Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2010 13:36:02 +0100<BR>> Subject: Re: (urth) Wall of Nessus<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> From: "Roy C.
