It moves! Martian rock crawls into rover’s camera view. Four days after Opportunity, the Mars rover, parked itself to wait for better weather, a “jelly doughnut sized” rock that wasn’t there before is suddenly there. Isn’t this how scary science fiction movies start?

I know EXACTLY what it means.
It means: It’s very high in sulphur, it’s very high in magnesium, it’s got twice as much manganese as they have ever seen in anything on Mars.
This is why they didn't hire you as a writer for Alien vs. Predator.
Now NASA is getting excited about this rock:

"It's like nothing we've ever seen before. It's very high in sulphur, it's very high in magnesium, it's got twice as much manganese as we've ever seen in anything on Mars. I don't know what any of this means. We're completely confused, and everyone in the team is arguing and fighting (over what it means)."

Just you wait, they'll find an "explanation" for this.
Check out this website, BTW. http://www.marsanomalyresearch.com/ There is a lot being hidden about Mars.
Yes, well, it's nice that we finally found Jimmy Hoffa: http://www.marsanomalyresearch.com/evidence-reports/2006/102/mars-humanoid-skull.htm
bigfoot's hiding in the shadows of the boulder in the upper mid.
They don't call him Bigfoot on Mars. They call him Bigappendage. Aliens, who can figure them out?
Or Moochelle?
Big Unit?
OR
Big Bazongas

Ah it's just the Occupy movement on Mars setting up..... Next picture it will be leaving rock excrement on the side of the Mars rover.....
Excellent observation! Is it secreting any raspberry colored digestive juices? Actually, to me, that hole looks kind of square - kind of like an "O" in the Campell's alphabet soup. I wonder... have they been feeding us aliens for the past 80 years, mixed in our soup? It's possible, maybe...
colored? WTH is wrong with you??????
Oh my -- I just saw Dr. Smith running the other way, screaming "It moved! Save me!"
And when he got cornered, he grabbed Penny Robinson and used her as a human shield.
I SAW that episode!
LOL, that's like saying you saw the Gilligan's Island episode where Gilligan screwed up a chance at their being rescued!
BWA HA HA HA
Precisely.
I suspect that when the rock is moved again the zombie attack will begin.
Robinson Crusoe on Mars put it there!
coulda been Friday on Mars, ya racist.
I suspect it's one of those green-skinned alien bastards screwing around with our equipment. I demand the Senate form a committee to investigate, and if necessary direct Quagmire to have the Joint Chiefs form an attack plan to allow the poor repressed Martian People to change leadership through a "Martian Spring".
Where is Alien in this discussion?
Is he a spy for the Martians?
If we are witnessing a rock-based life form, it puts a whole new spin on all those Washington politicians who seem to have rocks in their head. I mean, maybe they really do.
Nah, whatever this thing is, it's obviously smart enough to get nowhere NEAR the Potomac.
*I demand the Senate form a committee to investigate, and if necessary direct Quagmire to have the Joint Chiefs form an attack plan to allow the poor repressed Martian People to change leadership through a “Martian Spring”.*
And you forgot, for the Senate to pass an obscene aid bill for said Martians.
And I also forgot to look into the tax returns of the opposing party's 501c's tax exempt status.
I think the politically correct term is "undocumented Green-American children of single mothers." Check yourself, Tea Party bigot.
Nothing like watching your hypercritical Progressive tolerance coming through, next you will be insisting that Capitalism is the reason Mars is a dead, dry planet.
They've already screamed about GW causing it to die.
And by GW do you mean George W. Bush or Global Warming? Because either one is a politically correct response. You should get extra socialist credit for hitting both possibilities with one answer.
Well played, sir!
So if we continue to present our views in the progressively correct way, as approved by the "Dear Leader", do we receive extra credits when relocated to Camp FEMA?
Almost forgot to add Forcibly Relocated.....
Yes, you get the FEMA camp on Mars rather than the FEMA camp on the Moon. That's a difference between short of breath and no breath.
If I remember correctly, Hugo claimed that Capitalism was to blame, about 6 months before his richly earned demise.
