A similar effort is underway in Plano, TX even as we speak. I hear that they 
were on the verge of calling in the media to expound upon their success when 
it was discovered that one Jeremiah "Bubba" Sanger had not only mowed the 
yard, but gotten motivated enough to sweep up the "compost" that had been 
developing around the front porch over the past 12.75 years.

Not wanting to burn the assemblage due to the local government frowning upon 
such practices (not to mention personal knowledge about the timliness of the 
area's well-pickled volunteer fire department), he decided to lob several 
basket-full's over the fence bordering his property. Little did he know that 
the apparantly unused stretch of asphalt was one of several test-plots being 
monitored by a Plano sponsered research group.

When the asphalt plot was checked later that day, the group found highly 
convincing evidence that the ovoid pattern of humis that was strewn across 
the asphalt was due to unknown biological processes. One researcher proclamed 
that the plot had been out of crop-rotation an appropriate length of time and 
was now ready to be plowed and seeded. Another researcher was equally 
insistant that the decayed plant material was obviously deposited there by 
space aliens who had finished their experiments on the material removed from 
varous crop circles and, furthermore, that with sufficient examination that 
messages from the aliens could be discovered.

A fist-fight quickly ensued between the researchers that was only terminated 
when the Plano police department arrived on the scene at the bequest of 
various unsettled residents in the neighborhood. As the police sorted matters 
out, the researchers both benefited from free medical attention as well as 
free airtime to expound upon their views - provided by the local media who 
were drawn to the flashing lights of the squad cars.

"Bubba" Sanger was awarded a citation from the police for
littering and did 
not receive any interviews from reporters on the sudden, odd appearance of 
decaying plant material on the erstwhile empty asphalt plot. He did mention 
to officers, however, that he overheard comments from one journalist that the 
next day's Oprah Winfrey show would be addressing the topic of space garbage 
being dumped by UFO's. He fully intends to tune in and watch as he has 
believed in UFO's every since his uncle's ex-wife saw one over Lake Ray 
Hubbard in 1993.
