English Crop Circle's Mysterious Pattern Solved

Interesting crop circle. Must have been a smart farmer. ;)

Another crop circle has appeared in the English countryside — and this one's clearly been made by someone, or something, that understands math.
At first glance, the strange ratcheted pattern, radiating out clockwise, doesn't look like much — modern art, perhaps.
But an electrical engineer from North Carolina — described by the London newspapers as a "retired astrophysicist" — figured out that it was an abstract representation of pi, the number at the center of Euclidean geometry.

I would like to point out that my sis asked to have her son on her birthday. He seems to be the accommodating sort, tomorrow is her birthday and if he's anything like her, he'll be born after midnight on June 21st. :D
 
Today, I drove by the Chevron gas station by my house and the price of gas dropped from $4.77 to $4.75.

My wife talked to her grandparents in Springfield, Missouri today. Gas there was $3.99 not long ago, and just dropped back to the $3.50 - $3.60 range.

I talk to my mom in Springfield, Illinois every week. It used to be that gas prices there ran within about 20 cents of ours. Their gas has not reached more than $4.14/gal while ours went up to more than $4.50/gal. Theirs is now back to below $4. Ours still runs close to $4.50. What's up with that?
 
Only on their Thank You greatest hits album, possibly my favorite STP song of all time

I wanted to hug the young waiter at our local Red Lobster last night - I'm almost 46, with a significant amount of silver in my hair, and it's been a really long time since anyone addressed me as "miss". It made my day (and my husband smile).
 
I've seen this while reading the forums a few times now...

...it's 180 not 360 when someone's stance switches around.

I just noticed that too. A 360 gets you back where you started, regardess of which way you turn.
 
Alien-cubed is an atrociously bad movie, so why is it that I get sucked in every time I find it on cable?

The secret hope that perhaps this time you'll see something in it you've missed that magically makes it better?
 
Tori and Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood is on the Oxygen channel. Talk about mind-numbing television at its best...

:eek:
 
Come on, now...lead melts at only 621 degrees. Surely there are aliens that can withstand THAT.


:p

And I'm sure the exoskeleton would help it do just that, but I'd still think the lead might have slowed 'er down enough to make the ten foot vertical leap a bit of a stretch.

Don't assume aliens are affected by the viscosity of molten lead. I'm sure they have ways around that too.

Then again, if molten lead doesn't bother them, then why do the flamethrowers?

Fire scares them, according to Ripley. Which is convenient, since it's the only thing they've got available.



Well... that and the tons of molten lead that's just laying around.
