NASA Mars Press Briefing & "Significant Findings"
An anonymous reader writes "NASA will have a press briefing today at 2 p.m. EST to announce "significant findings". Salty liquid water maybe? Bacteria? This meeting will also be broadcast on NASA TV."
Bow down before your Martian overlords!
Salty liquid water... bacteria... they didn't need to go to Mars for that, I have it right under each arm.
For Immediate Release: NASA in conjunction has forged a treaty with the Martian people, part of this agreement stipulates that they will no longer steal our probes for fun, in exchange, the USA has agreed to prevent the Brits from sending any more beagles.
Just because you disagree doesn't make it offtopic or flamebait.
They found Waldo? Or did they find Carmen Sandiego?
Darn. If it's broadcast on NASA TV, then there's no way on Earth (or Mars, for that matter) that it could possibly be anything of interest.... Forget C-Span, if you want boring TV just be sure to tune in to this.
The World Wide Web is dying. Soon, we shall have only the Internet.
They've photographed the Martian who destroyed Beagle II, and other prior landers.
Campaign finance reform is national security.
One of the chief scientists saved a bundle on his car insurance.
They've found the Beagle :=)
I swear, the closer you get to Kennedy Space Center, the less chance they will offer it.
Of course. If Kennedy Space Center isn't sold out by the Thursday before the week, Nasa TV is blacked out for all the surrounding areas.

The Bugblatter Beast of Traal destroyed both of our Mars Rovers because we did not equip them with towels to wrap around their video cameras.

Pressing news: later today, pressing news will be announced.
Yes, they found remnants of bacterial life and water but...
... not on Mars. The probes navigational systems malfunctioned and they spend the last few weeks driving around Nevada instead.
Hate me!
They found Dick Cheney's undisclosed location.

They found oil underneath the surface of Mars!! Haliburtan probe to be launched at 4pm Friday.

Yep, here's the scoop. Illegal SCO code was found today, but it wasn't easy. They had to search Mars to find something.
No wait, that would be rather far fetched. I mean, it probably doesn't exist anyway. It's probably something mundane and obvious like water or proof of life.
DAMN. so close.
IP Therefore I am.
"Guys. Really. Mars is REALLY boring." Says Scientist studying Mars.
... more ...ROUND THINGS! I mean geesh - you want us to just sit here and guess and dream about them more? Ask me last week, and I would have been able to give you 5 theories, but... I just don't want to play the game anymore. They're round things... really boring... round things. Just because they're red and uniform doesn't make them magic people! Hey - maybe they're altoids, great! Let's dream about that for a while!"
"It's not funny anymore guys! I was into the whole robot thing for a while. That was cool. But it's been like, weeks now, and the that time delay thing is REALLY getting to me." Says Mark McGraffy, associate technician on the Spirit & Opportunity Mars data-gathering projects.
"Look... see! There it is
Mr. McGraff then ran off screaming. More news as it happens.

Sure. Earth was a 7 day contract. He did Mars to get some practice, and Venus out of curiosity ("Hmm, let's have more greenhouse effect"). Mercury, well, we all get drunk now and then. And as for the giant planets, He's still looking for whoever it was that misappropriated His IP.
(In my defense: Well, what do you expect with a story that says there's going to be a story...)

What we meant to say was that Nasa needs significant funding. Funding, not finding. Sorry for any confusion, but since you all are here we are going to pass around these offering plates and feel free to give what ever you can spare.
Who said science can't learn from religion?

>>NASA will have a press briefing today at 2 p.m. EST to announce "significant findings".
(from the press conference:)
"The bad news is, no, we haven't found water."
"But the good news is, we just saved up to 15% on our car insurance by switching to GEICO."
"Hey, come back..."
Magic Eight Ball: Outlook not so good., Hmmm, how about Excel and Word?
You are not alone. This is not normal. None of this is normal.
Actually no. What they found was traces of SCO code on Martian soil. They are now wondering about the license fees.
This is the kind of stuff that makes slashdot so magical for me.
