Crop Circle - in Popular Culture

In Popular Culture

The popularization of crop circles was mainly due to two different crop circles that had unusual circumstances surrounding them: the Julia set in Britain, and the Scorpio set in the Netherlands. The Julia set was discovered in 7 July 1996, near Stonehenge, formed by complex Julia set figures, appearing at some time between 5 PM and 5:30 PM, with no indication of what or who had caused it. The Scorpio was discovered in 1 August 2001, and cereologists claimed that it corrupted the photos in their digital cameras, and that they could detect ley lines via dowsing.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:

    What’s wrong, a little pavement sickness?
    —Russian saying popular in the Soviet period, trans. by Vladimir Ivanovich Shlyakov (1993)

    Everyone in our culture wants to win a prize. Perhaps that is the grand lesson we have taken with us from kindergarten in the age of perversions of Dewey-style education: everyone gets a ribbon, and praise becomes a meaningless narcotic to soothe egoistic distemper.
    Gerald Early (b. 1952)
