Found this bit news interesting and wanted to with you people.
Scientists believe they may have cracked the code behind"fairy cricles." Source -

For years, the appearance of rings in the Namib Desert floor, called "Fairy Circles," have confused the world.
Able to last as long as 75 years, the rings have an almost crop circle feel to them, eating away at the grass surrounding it to form a brown circle in
a sea of green.
The mystery, however, may have been solved - and it's not aliens. It's termites. The discovery came as biologist Norbert Juergens of the University
of Hamburg realized that the dirt circles contained sand termites.
I know, but I couldn't help it. Punish me, beat me, take away my bacon, but I thought we already knew the story behind fairy circles. They can't
help it, they're born that way.
As far as I know, this has not been posted before. Your post was interesting and informative. I was making an insensitive joke based on the word
"fairies." At best I'll be sent to reeducation camp, at worst, as I said, I'll have to forfeit my bacon.
