The Good News of Easter is that we eat too much hamburger and are drowning the impoverished of the South Pacific.
No, really.
The atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ through his incarnation, death, and resurrection is such a gas. Apparently.
Apparently you can make a tax-free donation to those who study Crop Circles. Without discriminating against those who think aliens make Crop Circles.
I sort of hope they prove that aliens make Crop Circles, because then we can probably blame aliens for Global Warming also.
Based on exhaustive critical research (Wikipedia) I have concluded that the vast majority of Crop Circles are man-made, but still really cool. Critics who get upset about trespassing and property damage are legally in the right. But the victims tend to make a lot of money offa being Crop Circled since tourists and researchers will pay a lot to investigate the phenomena. So you decide if they should really stop.
But the interesting thing is that a percentage of Crop Circles are not fully explicable according to human means. The nice, alien-friendly, and tax-deductible folks at BLT Research (hold the mayo) have scientific evidence about weird effects on plants and soil that can't adequately be explained. For example, expulsion cavities that occur in the plant stem nodes, which is a scientific way of saying the plants explode at the knuckles. That's awesome, and hard to humanly replicate without MIT-built microwave emitters. See the site for other weird stuff.
So, Crop Circles: I'm skeptical with a shot of agnostic. I'm prepared to believe in the natural explanations. But they don't yet appear complete.
The challenge would presumably be to find or produce Crop Circles without geometric form in fields without tractor lines.

I have, polumerws kai polutropos, tried to take Global Warming seriously. What I have retained from my vague occasional efforts is a persistent agnosticism and impression the issue is funny.
What other issue brings together Al Gore, the Toyota Prius, and Madonna?
But now it gets better. Apparently, SHARKS are the new Whales. Not only are we killing them off, they're much cuddlier than we've always presumed when we hear about them eating surfers. Apparently this video depicts a Great White Act of Love.
That's so CUTE! And it causes gnimraw labolg! According to this upcoming hug-a-shark-umentary.
And ignorant indigenous peoples who kill sharks to eat or sell don't love sharks or mother earth nearly enough. At least I think that's the implied message.
