the crop circle is a square (what a funny sentence).

About as funny as your prior comment that a human face is a sqaure.

It is made up of little square used in a binary on off fashion to make the picture.

It's called a dot-matrix.

Squares are geometric (actually every object is geometric, but for now we'll stick to the shapes we all learned in grade school).

Well thank you for that insight...

The crop circle in question is therefore a collection of geometric squares making a geometric square.

If you want to be honest here, the formation is a collection of geometric squares forming a human face, which happens to be centered in a rectangle. Now that's a BIG difference from what you had said..

The ALSO happen to make a face, but that's secondary to the fact that they are geometric sqaures, but they're not symmetrically arranged, therefore FAKE.

Bzzt. Wrong. The face is the primary object, and in order for the face TO BE SYMMETRICAL AND ANATOMICALLY CORRECT, the squares by nature HAVE to be ASYMMETRIC as far as their thickness. The Golden Ratio IS present, as it IS also present in a human face.

There's no other choice, these are your rules bub.

And you have a hard time understanding them, don't you, bub?

If you're going to say that this non-symmetrical collection of squares is not proven fake because it's non-symmetrical then all of your other fakes are no longer proven fakes.

As per the fact your analysis is flawed, you are wrong here as well...

You get one rule. You've gotta stick to it.

You can neither give or take away rules. The laws of Nature are universal, and you aren't the one to decide them...

What you're completely missing is that the lack of symmetry is there to apply shading. The picture is basically of a side lit face. Were it a front lit face there'd be no need for the lack of symmetry. None of which changes the fact that according to your rule lack of symmetry is proof of hoax. The fact that you can dig into your bag of tricks and provide a "reason" for the lack of symmetry doesn't change the rule. The rule is: no symmetry = hoax. There's no symmetry, so it's a hoax.

Then there's the skinny one next to it which is evne less symmetrical, and therefore even more assuridly a hoax.

I just love those John Deere tracks in that picture in post 555. Too kewl!

Man, if only I'd thought of this prank. I could've built a stadium just like Costner. $5 each x 10,000 people per night. RIGHT!
