A Bit Too Secret

James Lileks at buzz.mn on some recently appearing crop circles in Wisconsin.....

Was it aliens or pranksters? I’m going to get out the strop and Occam’s Razor and come down on the side of pranksters here. As fascinating and mysterious as crop circles are, I’ve always had a hard time believing that aliens have traveled vast distances to use the Earth as an Etch-a-Sketch. Oh, but they're trying to tell us something! They're leaving secret messages! Again, this is like walking to Hindustan to paint emoticons on cows and expect the locals to get the idea.
