June 26, 2007: Corn field motoring
 Reddit points to this item from the Netherlands, where apparently a police chopper captured this great shot. Which is scaled down a little from the original even more massive shot... It turns out this is the result if an extremely confused and coked-up guy drives into a cornfield. Picture it: one moment the guy is looking at road, the next moment he's looking at... something! he can't figure out! Even if he drives around in circles! it's still! all! around! The only way to defeat it is to mush it all down! That's right, can't take any chances! Mush it all down! All down! Anyway, I particularly like the Dutch-to-English translation of a news article that someone posted. Somehow these translations almost speak in the accent of the language barrier they are trying to cross. I mean, when I read the following, I read it with a Dutch accent, and it fits *perfectly*.

Cornfield art
I think I see a miraculous image of Elvis in that cornfield. At least now we know where crop circles come from.:p

Looks like he took a couple of turns through the adjoining dark and light green patches, also.

The giving of gas is a noble thing, give that man a Del Taco macho combo burrito, and send him home.

I'm in awe of everyone's comments and have nothing even remotely as clever to add.

although corn and maize are two different things, closely related though. also, almost all crop circles are done in wheat fields, not corn fields.

...this is what Christopher Walken did, somewhere near the end of At Close Range.
