There’s a few holes in this article. There were only a few 70-80 tonne blocks, and they were round the burial chamber. As far as the rest of the pyramid, the bigger 1-2 tonne blocks were used lower down and the top part was blocks averaging 500 kg. As far as needing laser guidance for accuracy, there were a lot of tunnels and bridges built before lasers were invented that met in the middle. Another thing I only found out today is that the pyramid was built around a small hill so a lot less blocks were moved than originally thought. They were like us, didn’t make a job harder than necessary.
You can see in the bedrock around the pyramid is the cut out shapes of a blocks

I've seen a picture before - assumed it was an April Fools joke.
What possible use could it have?
A shifting spanner is a horrid tool at the best of times.

Wittenoom is a real place where asbestos was mined and it was thought to be completly harmless at the time.

Midnight Oil made the town famous with their song Blue Sky Mining.

When it was hinted that smoking may be bad for you, Camel were the first to offer filters - they used Asbestos in their cigarettes!

Edit: Not Camel apparently - it was Kent.

Word of the day 'Whiffling'.

Fact of the day:
In high winds Geese can't get enough angle on their wings to bring them down quickly enough, so they're at risk of overshooting where they're supposed to be landing.
To counteract this and bring them down especially quickly they turn everything bar their heads upside down for a brief moment allowing them to lose altitude exceptionally quickly.
