Off to bed tithe.

Hope I don't dream about spreadsheets again, Thread help me

I feel your pain John. I'm doing some work right now using Excel on a project. For one used to a programming paradigm, using a spreadsheet is quite a change.

Japanese KODO drummers that we watched yesterday night were fantastic - it is something worth seeing!

Giant jellyfish invades Earth... in the form of a mysterious crop circle

By Daily Mail UK


No one ever seen a jellyfish like this before --particularly not in the middle of a farmer's field.

The 600ft monster, similar to a giant Portuguese man-of-war, has delighted crop circle watchers by turning up near Kingstone Coombes, Oxfordshire.

Crop circle-expert Karen Alexander said: 'We have seen butterfly and bird patterns in the past, but this is the first jellyfish crop circle in the world. It is absolutely huge, three times the size of most patterns.


The jellyfish crop circle in a barley field in Kingstone Coombes, Oxfordshire, measures 600 ft from tip to tail:



'It is absolutely huge - roughly three times the size of most crop patterns and extremely interesting. People have been aghast at the size of it. It is a complete monster.

'We are looking into the meaning of it, but at present it just seems to have appeared out of nowhere.'

Sceptics might suggest that someone in Oxfordshire is trying to muscle in on Wiltshire's dominance in the crop circle stakes - from April to the September harvest the mystery patterns are believed to bring millions of pounds in tourism to the western county.


No one knows exactly how the crop pattern was made:



The massive jellyfish thoroughly trounces the 350ft Wiltshire yin-yang symbol mysteriously cut last week into a barley field near Devizes, a crop circle hot spot.

The design is not strictly a circle, of course, and is a long way from the simple shapes that appeared in the 1980s and gave rise to the name 'crop circle'.

Some argue that the patterns are the work of artists with access to computers and plenty of volunteers - but crop circle enthusiasts say summer nights are just too short to accomplish such complex work secretly.

Well... it would certainly take lot of time... (it is hard to keep proportions and placement accurate when working from ground level)...

Martin, was anyone ever apprehended for that in UK (i.e. making crop circles and destroying farmer's property)?

Farmers in the USA have a remedy for crop circle hooligans. It's call a 12 guage shot gun loaded with rock salt! Ask the person whose been hit in the butt by it. It works!

This is true, except I'm sure the crop was insured. The farmer is probably getting paid either way.

Taxpayers subsidize those payments, as they do the price for the crops (more than likely). So you and I are the ones really left holding the bag.

Still, you're right vandalism is vandalism.
