Oregon State LUG Hearts Firefox in a Big Way

The Oregon State Linux Users Group is rather fond of Firefox. When the open source browser hit fifty million downloads, they painted a giant Firefox logo on the quad at their school using cornstarch and kool-aid. When it hit one hundred million, they launched a weather balloon to carry the iconic design one hundred thousand feet into the sky.

Over the weekend, the LUG members topped their previous stunts with a 45,000 square foot crop circle of the famous logo:


Okay. Seriously. How can you not love nerds?

When I saw the photo of the crop circle I had to use my extension manager, such is the joy it brought me. All hail the nerds!

These guys are crazy; I thought the original sidewalk chalk art was cool but they're getting pretty wild with this stuff.

I'd like to go out and see it since it's not too far away, but I don't have ready access to a plane or helicopter.
