Crop Circles

Here's a whopper!

Crop circles have nothing on that, do they!?

What's the difference between a crop of trees, and any other crop?

DNA?

DNA?

DNA is the difference between heirloom corn crop circles, and Monsanto corn crop circles.

What else you got?

I'm not intimidated by someone who can trample corn. Someone who can trample trees would be a different matter

No, I am not talking about meteoroids. I am talking about humans.

No, I am not talking about meteoroids. I am talking about humans.

As has been shown, any human can make a crop circle.

What about the aliens who started them in the first place?

Indeed. Hence my comment about those who can trample corn and those who can trample trees. It's rather sad that that comment went over your head.

The original crop circles were made by Englishmen in England. So, by definition, they were not aliens. Anyway, what about them? Are you upset that it's not an American phenomenon?

Really?

A 1678 news pamphlet The Mowing-Devil: or, Strange News Out of Hartfordshire is claimed by some crop circle devotees [who?] to be the first depiction of a crop circle.

Did an Englishman confess to this?

An article in an English paper about some crops in England which had been cut? Who do you think would be the most likely culprit?

America as a country didn't exist then, so it couldn't have been one of your countrymen. Does that bother you?

The Mowing Devil?

The Mowing Devil?

His name was Thomas Scythe, from Hatfield.

Citation please?

You'll need to consult the parish registers from Hatfield for that time. If you can't find Thomas Scythe, perhaps you could look for Mowing Devil. It's not a particularly English sounding name, but I'm sure you'll find a record somewhere if he existed.

Failing that, let's go with the most plausible explanation - it was an Englishman whose name was not recorded.

How about I simplify this and consult you, since you seem to know him?

Where did you get his name?

I made it up - although there have been several men named Thomas Scythe in England, at least one of whom was from around Hatfield but not at that time. Just as you made up the claim of aliens. Do you have a problem with that?

 

[AV1611VET]

Just as you made up the claim of aliens.

Demons, actually. Fallen angels.

Your exact words were "What about the aliens who started them in the first place?" (bolding mine). So, as I said - you made it up.
