Really cute posts guys. I thought I read somewhere that they found the ruins of a 'roundhouse' in one of the 'crop circles' but I could be thinking of somewhere else. Or even better, hallucinating the whole thing and creating my own memories. Or... never mind, (all this crazy is infectious).
There are some cute articles in the document library. But there also might be something somewhere about the crop circles.

i am wondering where are the cries that 'this is a scientific board ' being aimed at those interlopers who can't refrain from departing from the topic to post their juvenile antics?
or is that just another hypocritcal double standard that applies only to those of a religious perspective??

i am an "equal abuse" poster on this board, and i expect the same from all.

thanks for the link, Star. That's a nice site, but sort of cluttered looking and a lot to read. I was hoping to see the picture including the "crop circles....."
Maybe they are ring ditches...
Glad to see you are hanging in here in spite of the travesties
being perpetrated around us.
Presumably by crop circles they mean crop marks - when the underlying soil has been disturbed it leads to different growth rates. This can then be picked up be ariel photogrpahy, especially in dry conditions. A filled in circular ditch would, for example, appear as a 'crop circle' - caused by greener, more luxuriant growth though, as opposed to flattened plants.
I love British Englsh, and I love English place-names.
Teesside, Redcar, Cat's Bells, etc.
When I was over there in the 70's I first noticed that you guys seem willng to put together words and syllables in ways that we would never consider over here. We don't use "tarn" or "fen," for example.
However, we have some "doozies," like Lake Winnepasauka
(Indian) or Chalybeate Springs (an iron-water resort), or
Foggy Bottom....
