Watched a TV documentary on crop circles. You know, those fancy designs that show up in farmers fields at harvest time. According to the documentary, there are two kinds of crop circles.
The first kind are simple, neatly layered crops with no broken or crushed stalks and typically with an odd polarity to them. They appear all over the world. Scientists don't know what causes them, though they surmise it has something to do with earths natural gravitational laws.
The second kind are very elaborate. They were a mystery for decades. Then in 1991 two guys confessed to starting them in southern England in the early 1960's. They used simple geometry and a board and rope tool to make them.
What's fascinating about this, is that many people ignore the guys who confessed. Instead they argue and debate endlessly about the source of these elaborate circles. They show up wherever the circles are discovered, and commiserate with...well with whatever source they believe created them.
I suspect they're just looking for a good reason to party.
