JUDGE: So, your client admits he murdered the deceased? CMB: Yes, Your Honor, but he's lying. It must have been a chupacabra! 682917@blogcritics.org Wed, 26 Dec 2007 18:25:01 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/09/22/142645.php#comment-682900 "The ruse might have gone on, had Bower's wife not grown suspicious of the high mileage in his car. Bower became concerned his wife suspected he was having an affair, and he confessed what he and Chorley had been up to. Shortly thereafter, the circle-crafting duo informed a local newspaper of their activities. Chorley died in 1996, but Bower has been making crop circles as recently as 2004 and continues to inspire other circlemakers to greater mischief and more ambitious experiments." LOL.Right.For 15 years, they went around the world making crop circles for no apparent reason. 682900@blogcritics.org Wed, 26 Dec 2007 17:10:00 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/09/22/142645.php#comment-641003 Knowing a famous crop circlemaker, who actually is named in the above article, I sort of have a behind the scenes type of view. Based on what he has told me, yes they always work at night when doing crop circles that they are not being paid to do. The reason being that technically it's illegal for them to be on someone else's property without permission to do these crop circles. In fact he's told me of having been shot at by farmers whose fields he was working in, but thus far as escaped being shot in the arse. They are not ashamed of their work. In fact they are quite proud of it. However when they make a crop circle illegally part of the reason they don't acknowledge it is because technically they could be arrested for trespassing and property damage. The other reason is to allow the mystique to be present in there work for those who do believe. 641003@blogcritics.org Mon, 15 Oct 2007 10:36:20 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/09/22/142645.php#comment-635631 Okay, I'll buy into that, but how do you explain the circles where there are no groups of people around that can "Bend" stalks. Who made all the circles before the 20th century? They get paid for the advertising, what about the circles that are not advertisement? Do they normally work at night? Why? Are they ashamed of their artistic work? 635631@blogcritics.org Tue, 25 Sep 2007 11:57:21 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/09/22/142645.php#comment-635444 Aw, you're no fun. A logical explanation? Damn. Just when I had finally resolved that crop circles were Earth's way to send warning messages from its crystalline core about all the negative energy we've been generating, in preparation for the end of the world in 2012. 635444@blogcritics.org Mon, 24 Sep 2007 15:49:07 EDT
