FILE 015 – 2:37AM
The famous room number in the movie The Shining is Room 237. This number was changed from 217 in Stephen King’s original novel because the Timberline Lodge in Oregon, where the movie’s exterior was filmed, actually had a Room 217, and the lodge’s management was worried that guests would avoid it after the film’s release. Kubrick chose 237, a number that did not exist in the lodge, and it also had a connection to his earlier film, Dr. Strangelove, where 237 is the number to initiate a nuclear strike. In the novel, the room number is actually 217, but the movie made 237 iconic.
The Circle of Stones
The purpose of Stonehenge is still not definitively known, but the most widely supported theories suggest it served multiple functions, including: A ceremonial or religious site, possibly for ancestor worship and rituals linked to the dead. An astronomical observatory aligned with the movements of the sun and moon, used to mark solstices and important calendar moments, which may have helped guide agricultural activities. A place of healing, as some researchers propose that the unique properties of certain stones were believed to have mystical or curative powers. A symbol of unity, bringing together different prehistoric communities across Britain during a period of cultural unification.

Will you feel the sparks after the sunset, and stay close to see the fire burn. Will you stay and wrap your arms around me, and stay close to see the fire burn.
