Of Man and Mars

Men are from MarsWhile John Gray may have you believe that Men are from Mars, NASA had made some inroads into the subject and have made some shocking discoveries.  Most notable have been their findings concerning the long marveled at "Face on Mars".

Face on MarsIn July 1976, the Viking Orbiter 1 took this now semi-famous picture from high above the Martian surface.  The "face" has been the subject of much speculation by scholars and amateurs alike.  However, the images up to this point have lacked enough resolution for any conclusive thoughts on what kind of object this may be.

Real FaceIndeed, though Mr. Gray's book may be partially correct in that George W. Bush is from Mars, the same cannot be said of the rest of humanity.  The startling and unexpected discovery may leave many reeling from the impact of the announcement, while others will find subtle comfort in the fact that George W. is not of this world. 

Marvin the MartianEven more unnerving is the discovery that the simian-like visage is perfectly aligned with a line-of-sight view of Florida.  We have long known about the belligerent bent of our next door neighbors though we many never know what sinister force beams may have been aimed at Florida during the election.  It does seem to better explain George W's heretofore inexplicable election win despite have less votes than opponent Al Gore.

Ernest on MarsNot to be outdone, the Russian space agency released their study of yet another portion of Mars which potentially could be more terrifying than NASA's revelation.  All we can do as Americans is thank our good capitalistic gods that the Russian spacecraft have archaic tools to work with and will never match our discoveries.
