- VoxRatio, on 06/18/2008, -13/+677Wow. Those are some mathmatically brilliant hoaxsters.
- inactive, on 06/19/2008, -10/+452Probably the work of a lonely teenage geek alien with no girl friend just passing by with daddy's flying saucer on a late Friday night.
- Bronnster, on 06/18/2008, -5/+254A Visual explanation that was interesting.

- HellaBAD, on 06/19/2008, -1/+198There's a much easier way to go about it.
Behold: π - mrzeero, on 06/19/2008, -19/+198I saw some show years ago where two guys could make one of these with a couple of boards and two ropes in less than 3 hours.
- Utopist, on 06/18/2008, -23/+174I want to believe
- BodomX, on 06/19/2008, -1/+129Hes going to digg this article when he gets home.
- mattbeetee, on 06/19/2008, -6/+133It's nice of them to remain out of our hair for over 50 years, really, isn't it? Just every now and then a casual crop circle here, a leg sticking out of a bush there...
- mrzeero, on 06/19/2008, -7/+114Here is the wikiHow article on how to make these.
http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Crop-Circle
The only difference is that they threw a little math into theirs. Nice work.
Whoever buried my first comment should read it. - Utopist, on 06/18/2008, -9/+110the pie is a lie.
- Modestexcuse, on 06/19/2008, -8/+101I know they are completely fake, but that is still cool. That had to have taken hours.
- happyseamonster, on 06/19/2008, -3/+91Me to aliens: Spit it out already! What the ***** are you trying to say?
- psichopate, on 06/19/2008, -8/+88Beautiful.
- ArchetypeRyan, on 06/19/2008, -3/+78Is this really the most complex crop circle ever? It sounds suspiciously like something my friends in the Physics department would do while drunk on a Friday night. Go tequila!
- explnx, on 04/27/2009, -15/+90So the aliens, who apparently know enough about physics and engineering to create faster-than-light vehicles, just now figured out geometry?
- gjaslkgjfdsio, on 06/19/2008, -5/+78Yes I saw that too, and I also recall that the "experts" furthermore said that it was humanly impossible to create such accurate circles...
Some people just want to believe. - nottheonlychris, on 06/19/2008, -1/+73A peep in the window around the corner
- aleksandar, on 06/19/2008, -5/+71Firefox is far more complex.
- chaosium, on 06/19/2008, -3/+66"the 'experts' "
Uh, "crop circle experts" aren't experts in any other facet of life. They're not even experts on crops. - tumatakuru, on 06/19/2008, -6/+67It's the alien form of an internet meme:
I CAN HAZ PI? - Olivaise, on 06/19/2008, -6/+67If you're on Digg, so do you.
- jmp478, on 06/19/2008, -14/+73you need to get laid
- Chainheart, on 06/19/2008, -3/+55Ah, now is the perfect time to go have a reread of Sagan's Demon Haunted World.
- FadieZ, on 06/19/2008, -6/+56I'd like to join in on one of these projects, they look really interesting and I've got a few ideas. Anyone know if there's some kind of forum where they hang out or something?
- 1ncu3us, on 06/19/2008, -3/+48I like this one .. they actually put a mathematical (universal) message in it
http://www.cropcircleresearch.com/articles/alienfa ...
The message reads: "Beware the bearers of FALSE gifts & their BROKEN PROMISES. Much PAIN but still time. (Damaged Word). There is GOOD out there.We OPpose DECEPTION. Conduit CLOSING (BELL SOUND)" - weaseloption, on 06/19/2008, -5/+50shyamadugg.
- gkwillie, on 06/19/2008, -4/+47WHAT A TWIST!
- Shenanigans, on 06/19/2008, -0/+43If the three circles are the dots to show it continues, then why is it rounded off?
- inactive, on 06/19/2008, -7/+49*adjusts tin-foil hat*
- QubitTarutaru, on 06/19/2008, -22/+65Do aliens also have 10 fingers? 6 x 9 = 42
- LucasVB, on 06/19/2008, -8/+47Here, man, you dropped your tinfoil hat.
- inactive, on 06/19/2008, -0/+38Drunken math punks.. when will society find a solution to this growing problem?
- giorgioarmani, on 06/19/2008, -3/+39For a more visually understandable explanation, go here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1027178/Ea ...

- sittered, on 06/19/2008, -1/+35Corn is very low-res.
- stuffradio, on 06/19/2008, -1/+35Pie here!
*Points to mouth* - RevJonathan, on 06/19/2008, -10/+44You'll get your Barley back England, when Ireland has her freedom!
- Mononuclear, on 06/19/2008, -2/+33yes, and they have to round pi to ten digits because more than that is just too complicated.
- SeaICIubber, on 06/19/2008, -1/+33All your base are belong to us...
- threemagic, on 06/19/2008, -0/+30if you notice the distance between each hash measured as 1/10th of it's circle.. it is, indeed, pi coded.
The first is 3 then you see the decimal.. then the first angle comes at 1/10 of that circle.. the next 4/10ths.. so on..
if that helps you.
It's good to see aliens use the decimal system and base 10.. I was worried about that. - cmp1968, on 06/19/2008, -1/+30They designed it on a Mac.
- explnx, on 04/27/2009, -3/+32Coming to theatres near you June 25.
- xtraa, on 06/19/2008, -2/+31This has been made within two minutes and a rope by some drunken math punks with 3.1415 beers per minute.
- kasatie48, on 06/19/2008, -4/+33looks like a pokeball.
- krnldmp, on 06/19/2008, -0/+25They ***** it up.
- UncleHenry, on 06/19/2008, -0/+25I also hear they don't like water.
- Final, on 06/19/2008, -1/+25I saw a special on Discovery Channel where they actually followed around a group of people who do this. They would take the crop "drainage lines" in to the area they wanted as to not be tracked. And then use planks of wood with a big rope on it, they stand on the plank and then hold up on the rope and step around with the plank as "another foot" basically, in a circular patter. Hard to explain. But then just follow up the schematic they had layed out.
It was a cool show to watch, saw it a few years back. Anyways, they showed a timelapse of them doing it. It wasn't as cool as a pi circle, but I'm sure a lot of planning could do that. - notwizt, on 06/19/2008, -2/+25I'm not buying this at all, but your argument is weird. "Showing" Pi to humans makes perfect sense if that is something that we and the possible aliens have in common. Just because they are showing it to us doesn't mean they "just discovered it", which seems to be your view.
