That's because you are already being very specific - you want
to know something about Stonehenge, and there's a good chance
a university library has information on that, so you go to
that library and .. surprise, they have info on Stonehenge.
Now try to find in that library info on the IBM/SCO lawsuit, or
the historic Tanenbaum/Torvalds flamewar, or N-sync.
To find something, you have to know where to look.
