I'm doing something a bit different this week. The image below is a famous crop circle meant to represent pi. It's not pareidolia it's just a standard crop circle.
What I'm more interested in is the way people see and interpret these things. How does someone look at a bit of graffiti made in hay and come to the conclusion that a sentient being came from another planet do do a drive by tagging? I'm not going to bother going into the realities of crop circles here, there's enough information elsewhere. But really, aliens? How did they get this kind of thing past the budget committee?

Looks to me like the pattern for a slot to be drilled at a later time. Tinker toy connection to Mars and the Moon, perhaps?

No Libel Laws in Science
The use of the English libel laws to silence critical discussion of medical practice and scientific evidence discourages debate, denies the public access to the full picture and encourages use of the courts to silence critics. The British Chiropractic Association has sued Simon Singh for libel. The scientific community would have preferred that it had defended its position about chiropractic through an open discussion in the medical literature or mainstream media.
