Thought Patterns Reader Finds No Evidence
of
Rocker or Stoner
Activities
Hi,
Several sources that wish to remain anonymous have indicated that the Great Illinois Stone got off to a very rocky start. As you can imagine this left it for ages stuck between a rock and a hard place. But, belying expectation based on its name and origins, the Great Illinois Stone does not appear to ever have been either a rocker or a stoner. But he was very hard-headed, suggesting possible Norwegian origins (though Swedes, Germans, Danes, Finns, and Scots and the Irish have claimed a connection). So far no indication of a dependency on coffee, raising doubts about the Norwegian connection.
It was often mistreated and ignored, but when it sought legal recourse, learned that it did not have a leg to stand on. And this meant that it had neither standing nor voice in political and legal processes.
That’s about it so far. Hope it helps.
David

We thank Thought Patterns reader David P. Norby, Ph.D., CQE (ASQ) for this update regarding the potential history and nature of the Great Illinois Stone. Since he is a Certified Quality Engineer and a Scientist with training in biology and chemistry we are confident that his data has been rigorously researched. We give his information a high believability rating. Thought Patterns would raise the believability rating if David also had experience in geology and was able to dig up some genealogy & immigration records to support these findings.
Dave’s background includes over 21 years experience with Abbott Laboratories, so we think he knows a stoner if he sees one. We are not certain of his Rock & Roll credentials. David is an expert in the field of pharmaceutical manufacturing processes and test methods. If pharmaceuticals are your business and you want to make real good drugs, let me know and I’ll connect you with Dave.
