FireFox Crop Circle

Sat Aug 19, 2006, 3:06 AM
To celebrate the 200 Millionth download of FireFox, The Oregon State Linux Users Group descended on a field in beautiful Amity, Oregon for two days of plotting and stomping. By Sunday, over an acre of oats was emblazoned with the Firefox logo. To get the pictures, they pulled out the planes and the helicopters.

Check out the team's official wiki for tons of additional photos and info on how all the planning and execution was done, as well a list of the people involved.

Pretty Amazing eh? :)

You spelt the title wrong. Because of that I thought that the Mozilla developers had laid siege to their offices and that the cops had to make a ring around the offices. Your lucky I read the whole journal thou; I was just about to burn my house down.

I was once skeptical of my firefox-loving friends. Then I tried it for myself.
