    Can you really include the Id, the Krell had been gone for 1000s of years. It was the knowledge, and machines that the Krell had left behind, that gave Morpheus the power to create the monster from the Id

    But look at the size of it  :dude:

    It has been described by one expert as “the crop circle of crop circles” and it could be the biggest the world has ever seen.

     

    This massive formation appeared overnight in a Wiltshire corn field and enthusiasts from across the country are already flocking to see the phenomenon, which covers more than half a million square feet.

     

    The crop circle in a field [foot of Milk Hill G-fs] near Alton Barnes, Marlborough, is made up of more than 400 separate circles in what experts describe as a Julia Set design.

     

    The circle measures more than 1,000 feet in diameter and covers a total area of 636,172 square feet.

     

    Expert Lucy Pringle has spent the past 12 years investigating crop circles and has written a book, Crop Circles: The Greatest Mystery of Modern Times, about the phenomenon.

     

    She said: “It took my breath away. It is very big and has over 400 different circles in it. It takes up almost the entire width of the field. This is the biggest circle recorded to date as far as I am aware. It is the crop circle of crop circles.”

     

    Lucy, from Petersfield, Hampshire, said the best formations normally occur towards the end of summer.

     

    “We get really wonderful formations towards the end of the season before harvest,” she said. “It is like a grand finale.”

     

    Lucy said there had been around 100 crop circles in the country this year, but none match the Wiltshire circle for its beauty and size.

     

    The circle appeared in the field on the morning of August 13.

     

    Stuart Dike, from Bristol, has spent 11 years investigating crop circles and has looked at around 1,000 different examples.

     

    He said: “This formation is nothing short of breathtaking. It has taken the crop circle community by storm. It is magnificent. It is amazing to be able to turn 360 degrees and see circles all around you.’’

     

    While many have dismissed the circle as a hoax, one farmer is convinced it cannot be man-made. He said: “It is hard to say that it could be a hoax because it is so big. You have only five hours of darkness to work in and there are so many circles you would have to be making one circle every 30 seconds.’’

    UN proposes tourist area in Chernobyl

     

    UKRIANE, Kiev. The Emergency Situations Ministry set about to consideration of the UN proposal on creation of a tourist area in Chernobyl.

     

    The essence of the proposal worked out under the UN Development Program is expounded in the UN report sent to the Ministry a couple of days ago. In particular, the report says that in some of the Chernobyl zone's areas many interesting sorts of flora and fauna can be found now. Despite the fact that the radiation level exceeds any admissible norms there, UN believes it possible to invite tourists to Chernobyl. In turn, profits gained by means of "extreme travelling" would go into help and medical treatment of 200,000 Ukrainians in need suffering from the tragedy in Chernobyl.

    An Emergency Situations Ministry official, who preferred to remain unknown, told PRIMA on February 14 that the UN suggestion met interest of the Ukraine's Minister Cabinet. In his opinion, the world community has lost interest to the Chernobyl problem, that is why the UN initiative and its practical elaboration of the Ukrainian government may attract attention of rich foreign tourists to the region.

     

    Would you go ? :dude:
