Crop circles

[Guest Prick Wizard]

i know that a lot of people think that crop circles are a result of alien space craft or even hoaxes but what are peoples thoughts that they could be created by elves?

it is a well known fact that at midnight elves come out and have magical festivals and giant feasts in the forests. I have heard speculation that elves may come out of their enchanted forests in the early hours and especially under full moons, dancing perfect circles and intricit shapes into crops of corn and even wheat.

What are peoples thoughts on this?

[font=Trebuchet MS]My thoughts on the matter are that you can't use the phrase:
[quote name='Prick Wizard][/font'] it is a well known fact[font=Trebuchet MS][/quote] in a debate without evidence to back it up. It [b]isn't [/b]a well known fact that elves have magical festivals.

Meanwhile, all the information you could ever need on crop circles can be found [u][b][url="http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Crop_circles"]here.[/url][/b][/u]

[color=crimson] This theory give the alien concept credibility.

But in all seriousness, they're most probably tractored in by an attention seeking farmer, or prankster, something along those lines. After all, why would aliens be so hell-bent on forming mysterious patterns in corn? Too much time on their hands, boredom?[/color]

[size=1]Superior technology that allows for these patterns to be layed in a fraction of a nanosecond by lasers from trillions of lightyears away?

But really, I think that the crop circles are a load of BS, but it's interesting how perfect they look from above. I wonder how the farmers do it when they don't really have a good vantage point of what it looks like from the sky.[/size]

[COLOR=Silver][SIZE=1]Well sometimes there were some differences in the crop circles. For instants, some of the crop circles are perfectly bent without the bottom part of the stem been broking. In others supposedly "hand-made" the stem is easily broken by a wodden plank the step on to make the circles. To make a perfect crop circle all you need to be is a good mathematician.

Yet to tell the truth I don't believe in aliens. Like Retribution said: [/SIZE] [/COLOR]

No one has yet to prove that elves even exist.

If you?re wondering how they get it to look so perfect, then check out the National Geographic Channel when you have time. They air a show on the topic of crop circles. There?s one part of the show where a group that makes crop circles makes one for them so you get to see it being made.

It?s not that hard since they use a computer to make their model to begin with and then they take in boards and ropes the right size so that each time they create a circle it goes out only so far. [/COLOR]

[color=crimson] Exactly, they're doing this to curb their boredom, watch us freak out and all. Sure, they could vanquish us in a micro-second, and they've probably done that to about a bajillion other races in the galaxy. Figured if they do that here, then they'd just end up bored again, searching around for the next race to f around with.[/color]

i think that it's generally accepted that elves do exist. if elves do not exist then how come hundreds of non-fiction fantasy novels talk of the exact same race of people and often all describe them as having pointy ears and magical powers.it's far too much of a coincidence to think otherwise.

i also don't buy the alien theory, elves have had midnight gatherings like this for thousands of years, since ancient times infact.

can anyone here actually prove that elves don't exist?

we can only assume that they do though. there is plenty of evidence, including the crop circle phenomena and refrences in hundreds of novels worldwide, the most famous being JR Tolkeins "the hobbit"

[b][color=DarkGreen][size=1]Prick Wizard, I've had to merge together your two consecutive posts. Don't double post in future, please. Instead of posting twice in a row, edit your first post to include whatever new information you wanted.

Wow.

This really shouldn't even be up for questioning, Prick Wizard. People admitted long ago to making the crop circles, and showed clearly and logically how they did so. There's no debate here, lol.

And there is no such thing as a non-fiction fantasy book. Fantasy is just that, a fantasy, something that does not exist. Can you prove that they do? Just like aliens no one has proven that elves exist.[/COLOR][quote name='Prick Wizard']we can only assume that they do though. there is plenty of evidence, including the crop circle phenomena and refrences in hundreds of novels worldwide, the most famous being JR Tolkeins "the hobbit"[/quote][COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]A book is not evidence. Many people are familiar with J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings or Wagner's The Ring of the Nibelung, but they are not familiar with Norse mythology to which both of these works are heavily indebted.

Tolkien was very well acquainted with Norse mythology, as can be seen by the use of it in his books. The name of one of his main characters, Gandalf, is found in The Poetic Edda. Gandalf is, in some ways, reminiscent of Odin, the leader of the Norse pantheon. Even the name Middle-earth, the setting for Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, comes from Norse mythology.

The reason that there is hundreds of fantasy books written about the same characters is because the stories written from Norse mythology have been around for over a thousand years. Plenty of time for people to hear about elves or any other mythical creature for that matter.

[color=crimson] I think it's generally accepted that [b]Chewbacca [/b]existed as well, the proof is right there, in all the Star Wars EU novels, online thesis and even those diehards who dress up as him in conventions, they must have had one wookie-acious encounter. Since so many people have written about Chewbacca, denying his existence would be a fallacy! Plus, there are pictures of him too, and video!

Doesn't mean the crop circles were of Wookie creation, though. ;)[/color]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS]true, some people adimitted that they made some of the crop circles. But not all, and besides they've found that in some of the crop circles made, the wheats showed no sign of breaking, and they found tiny wholes near the bottom of the plants. And only the ones inside the crop circle happen to have these unexplained wholes.[/FONT]

[TheShinje]

[color=crimson] Maybe, the hole are drilled into the plant to help the conspirator bend the plant without breaking it?

[size=1]Imagine, if you can, drilling holes through [i]tens of thousands of wheat stalks[/i]. Not viable. I'm surprised you even said such a thing o_O

And I wouldn't get too caught up in this 'discussion' fellas. This is the guy who suggested that [i]otakuboards.com[/i] should be changed to [i]otakuboards.elf[/i] or [i]otakuboards.wand[/i] to bring in more people who are interested in wands and elves....

[color=#333333]Prick Wizard, I must say you are quite the original character. Your threads always enlighten me. Thank you.

On another note, it is a [B]well known fact[/B] that elves existing is not a well known fact. The idea of Elves and/or Pixies dancing to make the crop circles originates from [I]Scandanavian Folklore [/I] and is not, in anyway, true.

[quote name='Prick Wizard']i think that it's generally accepted that elves do exist[/quote]It obviously [i]isn't[/i] generally accepted that Elves exist. In fact, you are the only one I can tell (apart from the people who came up with the Scandanavian folklore) that truly believes they are real.

It's unfair to Tolkein for you to say he believes in Elves. I think authors use Elves because they are a generic fictional race that readers everywhere are familiar with. The same goes for other fantasy races such as Dwarves and Gnomes.

By what you're going by, you should not only believe in Elves but also Dwarves, Orcs, Gnomes, Pixies, Vampires, Wizards, Centaurs, Werewolves and many more. Certainly all these races can't live on Earth without us knowing can they?

[quote name='Prick Wizard']can anyone here actually prove that elves don't exist?[/quote]Can you prove they do? [size=1]I swear if you say "because of the pixie circles!"...[/size][/color]
