We took the kids to one of these today that was close by. It was alot of fun. Looks like they have them all over the U.S., some in Canada and even one in the UK.

Forgive corny pun... but when you said cornfield maze, I thought you might have been talking about maize.

If you look at their logo it has an ear of corn in it that makes it look like maize.

I'm not sure how they do it. Lots of work I assume. I'm not sure there's any easy way to make that many 'trails' through a cornfield. I'm guessing it's done very early when the corn is short.

We even have them here in Utah (which rather makes me laugh since some of the early reasons for this sort of thing were fertility rites....)

Those crop circle guys can crank out some pretty sophisticated designs in a matter of hours with a 2x4 some rope and a tape measure, can corn be that much more difficult?

gps coordinates, programming start point, enter field width/height and let the machine run.

Awe shucks. I hadn't noticed that Timotheos was already onto the maize angle.

Knocking it down is one thing, removing all of it to result in dirt trails is probably the hard part.

Obviously the CIA just created this daughter company to give the public an easy explanation for maize circles - whenever aliens make one, they just put a photo of it up on this website and make $$ off it, more money to oil the capitalist machine. For those of us who are in the know, the fact that the CIA is doing sinister deals with these other intergalactic life forms really isn't any news at all, it's practically been going on since the Mayflower came over. This just proves it all. Look: the CIA is getting these aliens to write things in the corn like 'Packers vs. Bears' and 'Idaho Kicks'. These supposedly innocuous phrases could only have the sole purpose of distracting the public away from the really important facts of the times going on right under their noses - like the CIA doing deals with suspicious extra-terrestrial, cornfield-messing organisms. The only thing that's amazing here is that the public really seems to be buying it.

Those intergalactic life forms better watch their @rses. We can reduce successful enterprising businesses (planets) to rubble with a few strokes of the mighty pen. :)

a game for game haters - now that piqued my curiosity, and 'Feeble' does sound like a nice narrative - atmosphere, and a guy I could probably identify with. I haven't truly enjoyed a game since Apple ][ Bolo (written by one of the guys in MS in 1978), and haven't played for ages since I can't get any Apple ][ emulator to work on Debian Sid. I don't dare touch it when in Windows since that's when I'm doing my ie debugging, one of the things I hate the most - so I'd probably be shooting more alien tanks than aligning pixels. I did try the demo of halflife a long time ago but figured I'd have to loose a few pounds before I could make those jumps.

Really, though, you shouldn't play any games on a computer with more than 64K since you don't want to take the risk of those advanced behavior control algos, you know, eye-hand coordination isn't so far from mind-eye-hand coordination. Or if you do, make sure your tinfoil beanie is securely in place. And don't play networked games with anyone whose username begins with 'K'.
