Does the sudden appearance of a Firefox crop circle imply which browser extraterrestrials prefer? We don't know, but it was still fun to make!
Constructed by local Firefox fans and the same team that created the Firefox mural from cornstarch and kool-aid and launched the Firefox weather balloon, the Firefox Crop Circle project shows that we have so much passion for Firefox that we want it to be visible from space!
Planned in under two weeks and completed in under 24 hours, the crop circle had a final diameter of 220 feet. We constructed the circle in an oat field near Amity, Oregon, where it was completely invisible from the road but unmistakable from the sky. Our team consisted of 12 people, mainly OSU students, and we carefully stomped down oats from 3:30pm Friday afternoon until 2:30am, putting on the finishing touches between 7:30am and 11:00am Saturday, August 12.

However, gawd help us all if one Linda Moulton Howe (who has studied crop circles seriously and reports on them regularly for the Coast to Coast AM radio show) starts asking about this....
Firefox Rules!
Cool!
Doing a crop circle for Opera would be, just like the browser, quicker, faster and easier.
Just wait until Microsoft releases their latest browser IE7 with its total lack of customizability, you might see a lot more of those Firefox circles showing up. :)
Given that the Opera logo includes the shadow, probably not.
Crop circle ping
That's awesome! Wish I woulda thought of it, haha...
