Crop circles are fake?

But everyone who sees it immediately asks, 'Is it real?

Big deal. People say the same thing when they see the effects done at the haunted house I work at every Halloween.

"The dragon is flawless, from the tiny teeth to the umbilical cord.

The umbilical cord would seem to suggest live birth of dragons, wouldn't it? How many reptiles have umbilical cords? (and I thought dragons were egg laying creatures). For that matter, although they look like it, are dragons reptiles?

This is as fake as the "15 meter snake" story that was circulating a few weeks ago.

At the time, scientists were the equivalent of today's pop stars.

The majority of scientists I know still believe they are. One in particular is so obnoxious that I told my boss it is everything I can do to put on the brakes when I see him cross the parking lot, we have threatened to give another a "swishy" (putting them head first in the toilet and flush the stool), LOL!

Your remarks, sir, are an insult to Piltdown Man, Nessie, and Crop Circles.

But seriously...

It is interesting to note that most cultures have stories of dragons or are familiar with the concept of such creatures.

Oh no. This has all the makings of the next "crop circles" phenomenon.

It could be made from indiarubber, because Germany was the world's leading manufacturer of it at the time, or it could be made of wax. It has to be fake.

X-Ray it and see if it has bones, organs, etc. Seems like a pretty simple way to eliminate "indiarubber or wax".

"Britain, the country of fakirs: Piltdown Man, Nessie, Crop Circles, Robert Fisk."

Leave Nessie and crop circles off of the "frauds" list. Far too many sightings of Nessie.........FAR too many incredibly complex "crop circles" all over the bloody planet to be a hoax.

Fake. It's in too good shape to have been pickled for a hundred years. There'd be junk at the bottom of the jar. Aside from the fact that we'd never get lucky enough to be handed one like this.
