Colorization of Mars Images?
ares2003 writes "There is no scientific reason, why JPL is colorizing Mars in that dull red tint as in their press release images. In the latest panorama image, there is a hint, that they deliberately altered the colors, as the blue and green spots on the color calibration target (the sundial) suddenly converted to bright red and brown. Source of original images: 1, 2 - (for highres replace "br" with "med"). At normal weather conditions, as we have at the moment, there should be a blue sky on Mars and earthlike colors. Furthermore the sky looks overcasted on the pictures as it cannot be considering the sharp shadows on the sundial. If the sky was overcast, then because of diffuse lighting, there would be no shadows. A few years ago, I did an investigation about that very same topic for the Viking and Pathfinder missions."

What is a glory hole?
A glory hole is generally defined as a small fist-sized hole between private video booths in an adult bookstore. It is placed about hip high for the average guy and is just large enough to place a man's penis through to let the person on the other side perform whatever sexual activity he pleases on it.
There are several variations on this theme - you will recognize them when you see them.
Variations
Small holes between toilet stalls on the Interstate highway or in a shopping mall. Toilet areas friendly to this type of activity are often called Tea rooms.
Buddy booths are video booths where a glass partition with dual curtains separates the two booths. There is a button on both sides that first raises and then lowers one (but not the other) curtain. When both buttons are pressed by both people, both curtains rise and you can see each other. Buddy booths were designed to allow people to see but not necessarily touch each other. Some businesses have modified the booths so that the glass doesn't go all the way down to the bottom of the curtain. This allows you to see and feel each other at the same time with the safety of a wall between you.
What is a private video booth in an adult bookstore?
Most (not all) adult bookstores have an area where you can put a token, a dollar bill or a quarter into a slot and have an X-rated video play for about 60 seconds on a TV screen in front of you. These booths are small enough (for example, 3' x 6') for one person to sit down and lock the door behind them. In some areas, these booths no longer have doors on them. Most places frown on having more than one person in a booth. Some however actually encourage it by advertising "couples booths".
OK, what's a "couples booth"?
A couples booth is a booth that is much larger than a normal booth. It may have a larger than normal seat or a bench. More importantly, it is a booth that the establishment will tolerate more than one person being in.
But this adult bookstore only has straight videos, could they also have glory holes or couples booths?
Absolutely! In fact, for bisexual or married guys, this is a great deal! They can go into a place that they can have sex with another guy and not worry about someone see them go in and "blow their cover".
Is there an equivalent place for women?
Not that I know of!

Please study up on the proper usage of the comma.
Thank you.
At first, nothing happened. Then I started smiling at your posts. Next... laughing?
/me makes $$$ on street corners selling Type-R stickers at $100 a pop for saturn users muhahahaha
Those Martians are going to want to make a good first impression when they line up in front of the rovers to have their pictures taken for OSDN Personals, and JPL is getting rid of any of that nasty red eye. "I enjoy long walks on the dry beach and a couple pan galactic gargle blasters on the weekend"
RIMMER: (VO) After intensive investigation, comma, of the markings on the alien pod, comma, it has become clear, comma, to me, comma, that we are dealing, comma, with a species of awesome intellect, colon. HOLLY: Good. Perhaps they might be able to give you a hand with your punctuation.
Nice job with the random placement of commas, it really adds to the flow of your words!
And why can't movie actors learn how to really look they are chewing tobacco instead of just having a big gob of spit in the front of their mouth and it ready to run out. And none of them can spit worth a shit either.
There are conspiracy everywhere. Nein? Shizer!
I don't think so.
The shareholder is always right.
