Crop Circles

Most of us have seen the movie Signs with Mel Gibson (for those of you who have not consider yourselves among the lucky few), and have heard about the mysterious crop circles that pop up every now and again across the globe. We've also heard many speculate that they may be the work of aliens, although a plausible motive has never been discovered. I always thought the idea of extraterrestrials making crop circles was silly. Like a bunch aliens would come all the way here, hide behind the moon, then after dark sprint down to the planet, graffiti some English dude's corn field, then race back to their home planet. What for? So they could definitively say that fields of wheat are a great medium for finger painting?
Anyway, I stumbled upon an article that explains crop circles without invoking ET. And while you'd think it would have to be a less interesting scenario, it isn't. So what could this new theory be? Why stoned wallabies of course! Yes, you read correctly. Apparently humans aren't the only animals that appreciate opium, (in addition to wallabies, reindeer were cited...I knew I loved reindeer!) and I guess their favorite thing to do when high is to walk in circles...I am not sure how much research has actually been done on this subject, or how many wild wallabies there are roaming around Great Brittan, but I find it both interesting and hilarious, and a nice alternative to aliens.
