Back in post 462, when I described how to make a complicated crop circle, I said "You can be precise laying out the diameters by using a
compass rose at the center stake." What I had in mind is something like this:
It could be fairly small, with raised wooden "fins" to guide the ropes. The result should be extremely precise. With the compass rose greatly exaggerated in size, the guys with the ropes who mark out the diameters would look like this (and it wouldn't take anywhere near this many people):
Additional circles can be made, just by changing the length of the rope tied to the center stake. As each new circle crosses a diameter line, you can "connect the dots" with more rope to create something that looks very much like a spider's web. It should be fairly easy to construct a very intricate design in very little time. This ain't rocket science.

And, nope, it ain't rocket science except to those who can't tell rocket science from magic (or little green men).
Psst. I've never said that crop circles can't be faked. I've said that NOT ALL OF THEM ARE FAKES however. And I have yet to see a hoaxed formation come close to the symmetry and precision of a REAL formation, nor have any hoaxed formations been able to duplicate the bending of the crop at 90 angles.
