Have you ever wondered what the aliens that make the crop circles do during the winter when there is blowing snow and no crops to disturb? I’m assuming you prefer the alien theory over drunken villagers but either will do as crop circles are most definitely seasonal.

Apparently they (who ever they are) roll giant snow balls which sounds almost as much fun although not quite as decorative, but give them time.  I won’t be that surprised if they start showing up in artistic patterns.  Although this article is quite dismissive of the crop circle connection you can see a picture and decide for yourself whether this is a freak of nature or the work of really bored extraterrestrials.  I’m particularly fond of the statement ‘world’s most remote and frozen regions’ which apparently means the American mid-west.

Crop circles and stoned wallabies – when is the movie coming out?

Extreme tourism – paying to be pirate bait? I wonder what the buffet looks like…

Naked rowers to cross the Atlantic – they’ve made a great case for nudity due to chafing but didn’t mention sun burn

The EU has lifted a ban on overly curved cucumbers and other odd vegetables – what exactly was the point in the first place?

In honor of the 4th – the “we have hatched an egg” song from 1776

The crop circles of 2009 are promising to surpass earlier years. So either the aliens are getting better at it or the secret prize money at the local pub is enough to be inspiring.  I quite like the jellyfish design this year – the first ever jellyfish  crop circle but then there are a lot of things that have yet to be represented.  I wonder if I can put in  a request for a ladybug?
