Mysterious sand circles There's more intrigue in cottage country. No sooner did we settle the septic conundrum (see Number 1 and Number 2) than a new mystery arose from the depths of Stewart Lake. We sent our cub reporter, Chris Norton, back to front to find out all she could about the mysterious sand circles:
"I have to admit, I thought these sand circles were a load of bunk. The prairie farmers have crop circles and get all sorts of attention, but surely the folks in cottage country don't want helicopters and 60 Minutes and the National Enquirer showing up for nothing. It must be real. When I reached the shore where the circles had been spotted, I couldn't believe my eyes. Sand circles! Really.
"What is rising form the centre of the earth creating this phenomenon? Could it be that the world spins on its axis because of some giant hamster and a humongous wheel? That the resulting spiral pattern holds the truth of our existence? Is life and the meaning of it merely a side show where "God's" trained monkeys are just play toys for said great hamster? I had to look even closer.
"Well is my face red. Turns out the mysterious sand circles are nothing more than clam circles. Yup. looks like these lake clams pull themselves around with their glig bodies, eating the gip that falls into the soft sand. And since they have no road maps and no eyes to speak of (better get the Pigdump fact checkers on that), they just go around and around aimlessly until some turtle or racoon gets a hankering for fresh-water clam on the half shell.
"So rest assured, Pigdump visitors, we are not being invaded by some underwater hamster. Nor are the aliens rising from the deep. But the next time you eat an oyster or a clam, they eat the crap, the waste, the gip and glig of the waters so make sure you wear a bib."
Pigdump has nothing more to say.
