Crop circles are awesome!

So apparently this one is old news, but I just found out about it...

Let me start by saying that crop circles are AWESOME!

If you believe in aliens... AWESOME.
or if you enjoy the exploits of clever pranksters... AWESOME.
If you're into geometric abstract art... AWESOME.
If you're a geek at heart... AWESOME.
If you love puzzles ... AWESOME.
If you enjoy picturesque landscapes... AWESOME.
If you're an Anglo-phile... AWESOME.
Everything about them is AWESOME!

So...
Now that we have established that you like crop circles...
(unless you are a prudish, British hating, nature killing, art-phobe, lunk head)

Check this out...


"Yeah, Yeah... Okay... So what... It's just a crop circle..."

Maybe...
But this is a crop circle that abstractly depicts the first 10 digits of pi!
A crop circle that says - "3.141592654..."

Don't believe me? Check this out.


It even includes a mini crop circle decimal point!

I think the middle school mathlete in me just wet himself with glee...

I liked this comment from the article's page:

"If this wasn't some sort of supra normal event, then there had to be hundreds of people involved in this over a long period of time, and all of them astro - and nuclear physicist PHDs, as well as surveyors, aerial observers (balloonists or microlite pilots), site organisers, logistics experts, vehicle operators and supports people. And a lot of time, all with the collusion of a farmer who owns the field and wants to damage their valuable crop, on the off-chance that he might get a bit of money out of it from the papers. Or the insurance...

These things appear overnight, usually!!

But a couple of old blokes with a plank of wood and some string will claim to have made this! Or some drunk students.

Wake up, people!"
