I’m fascinated by the idiots that take the time and energy to make them.

You didn't watch the vid, did you? Some of these crop circles depict advanced geometry, physics, etc... And the "legit" ones are created by the stalk nodes exploding due to high heat. Not boards and ropes. Fascinating.

I thought they were interesting when we didn't know how they were made. But now that we know how the fraudsters make them (and that it is fraudsters), it's not nearly as interesting.
That's like the guy that used to wander around Florida beaches in shoes with giant fake cement penguin feet strapped to his shoes.

Nope, not buying it.

I may have first hand knowledge of how boards and ropes can make something like this.
Rural folks get bored sometimes. |

You know what else can cause a stalk to bend rather than break??
Rain. It’s fascinating only from an artistic perspective. Some of the designs are quite unique. Many are simply variations of very ancient symbology. As a kid, I made many,, the ancients called it: Spirograph!
