here is the story of one fans obsession with all things trek. while mazes are fairly common these days, especially corn mazes here in the midwest, this one is unique in it's theme. you have to see the pictures of this star trek inspired maze to believe it...

here's the link to the original article: http://today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=entertainmentNews&storyID=2006-07-14T114754Z_01_L14890792_RTRUKOC_0_US-MAZE.xml&archived=False&src=071406_1211_ARTICLE_PROMO_also_on_reuters

article:

LONDON (Reuters) - A British fan of the cult TV show "Star Trek" has boldly gone where no man has gone before and created a giant maize maze dedicated to the program.

Trekkie Tom Pearcy used satellite technology to help him cut the maze in the corn field at his farm near York, northern England, to celebrate 40 years since the show's first episode.

The maze, whose design includes images of character Mr Spock and the USS Enterprise spaceship, used 1.5 million maize plants and claims to be the biggest of its kind in the world.
