    The 'Net really needs a kook hall of fame.

    I know the story called these people kooks, but:

    On one Web site, an outraged writer accused NASA of intentionally running over the bunny with the rover.

    If you haven't read the article, do not do so while consuming a beverage. I think someone owes me a keyboard.

    The aspect of these stories I find most interesting is the sheer number of people that have Photoshop and are using it to alter these photographs. Few if any of these folks strike me as the graphic design type. It is strange then that they would shell out $649 for an app they seemingly only use to retouch NASA photographs.
