Title: Cropmarks, 'Shrek fish,' and Goats on a Rail: Buzz Week in Review
News:
by Mike Krumboltz

Some people say there's nothing new under the sun, nothing left to see that hasn't already been seen. Well, phooey to that! This week, the weird and wild took over the Web. There were unusual cropmarks, an ogre-like fish, and a couple of goats who clearly took a wrong turn while out for a stroll. Check out those stories and more with the Buzz Week in Review.

Cropmarks surface
The crop markings turning up in England don't come from aliens, but their story is arguably just as interesting. A buzzy article from the BBC shed some light on the strange story. Thousands of years ago, there were settlements across the English countryside. In the many years since, crops have grown where the buildings once were. Here's where it gets cool. Aerial photos "show marks made when crops growing over buried features develop at a different rate from those nearby." It's a bit like looking at a blueprint from thousands of years ago, and it hasn't happened since 1976. Check out the photos here.

'Shrek fish' makes waves
Shrek, that green ogre of animated movie fame, may have a long-lost relative. This past week, some footage made its way on to the Web that shows an unfortunate-looking fish with a striking resemblance to the swamp-loving grouch. Featured on morning news programs as well as many other outlets across the Web, the footage helped to cause a serious surge in searches for "shrek fish," "asian sheepshead wrasse," and "fish that looks like shrek." Below, you can check it out for yourself. Footage courtesy of WYFF.

Goats on the rail
Our third and final entry for "Things You Don't See Every Day, but You Did This Week," is a pair of goats who, somehow, wandered onto the thin rail of a bridge. Stuck up there for two days, the pair was finally brought back down to the ground. The bizarre incident took place outside Billings, Montana, and authorities are currently trying to figure out where the goats came from. According to an article from the AP, people have already offered to adopt the pair, should the owner not come forward. May we humbly suggest someone with a fenced yard?
