a good synopsis of the mystery of the crystal skulls

""The theory may sound far-fetched, at first," he says, and this is misleading, because it implies that the more you hear about it, the LESS far-fetched it will sound, "But the crystal skulls are made from quartz, which is what we make our modern microchips from. Imagine how much information is stored on a microchip--now, think of how much information could be stored in a crystal skull." Which is crazy, because beaches are made out of quartz, too, and all they store is sand crabs and used heroin needles."
