Blarney Stone!

Hey Guys, per your request on the poll Kup and I went first but there was an oops with the camera so we had to do it again. Although this was good because it turns out I didn't really kiss the stone the fist time. If you look carefully in the picture that actual stone is the dark blue stone at the very bottom of the wall. So of course the second time I nailed it! Here are a few videos and pictures to show you the adventure. Check the website for more pics (coming soon)!



Facts:

There was a Sherlock Holmes story that involved the Blarney Stone, (this was before the grab bars) they put grease on his boots and he fell to his death.

There are several myths to why the Blarney Stone is placed where it is,
was part of the wailing wall in Jerusalam brought to Ireland during the Crusades.
was half of the original Stone of Scone, it was a pillow for Jacob and brought by the prophet Jermiah, this was the rock that Moses struck with his staff, and it's said to be the "Stone of Destiny."

Apparently, Texas Tech University has piece of the Blarney Stone but it has not yet been proven!

By kissing the Blarney Stone we should now have the gift of gab very different than Baloney (as it's written all over the castle walls)!
