NASA Says Mars Rocks Formed in a Salty Sea

NASA has made another announcement, live on NASA TV, regarding the discoveries of the Spirit and Opportunity rovers. They believe that the rocks examined by Opportunity were actually formed in water; that those rocks were actually sediments laid down in a shallow salty sea. They've already had outside scientists examine their data and those scientists concur with the conclusions. NASA has a story with explanations and some photos.

A Salty Sea on Mars

Well, I suppose that would explain the ruins of a Long John Silver's that Viking 2 found in the 70s.

Next headline you'll see

"Opportunity Rover on Strike: Demands Pina Coladas, Sunscreen, and 5 days off to enjoy time at beach."

Easy... the colonists revolted and the Go'auld decimated the planet.

What a discovery!!

I can't believe they actually discovered they have rovers over there:

"NASA has made another announcement, live on NASA TV, regarding the discoveries of the Spirit and Opportunity rovers. "

Surf's up on Mars!

"It must have been radical," said NASA spokesdude Jeff 'Sex Wax' Corona at a press conference held in a salt water taffy booth in Atlantic City, New Jersey. "The waves would have come in out of the north, and based on our topographic mapping, would have curled perfectly and just tubed out for miles."

"Would there have been life there?" asked Jayson Blair, new cub reporter for Tool & Die Quarterly.

"Dude!" said Corona, "With wave action like that how could there not be life? Can't you just imagine the green-skinned Mars babes lounging around, sipping Martain pina colodas while rubbing tanning butter all over their Barsooms."

"So you think Mars mught have supported intelligent life?" asked Baba O'Reilly, a distant cousin of Bill O'Reilly working for Akron City College Daily Herald, Mid-Morning Edition.

"Yeah... yeah... those barsooms, man," said Corona. "Huh? What? Oh, well, you wouldn't want them to be too intelligent, you know what I mean, man?"

The press conference was brough to an early end when a catsuited Gloria Allred and Camille Paglia paraglided into the taffy booth and beat Corona into submission.

OT: but I had to share it:
My current titles on my tabs in Mozilla say:

"NASA Finds Critical Ass...."

and

"NASA Says Mars Rocks..."

Kinda funny...
