NASA Finds Evidence of Recent Flowing Water on Mars
SonicSpike writes to mention that Scientists are claiming that they have evidence of water flowing on Mars within the last five years. From the article: "Subsurface aquifers or melting ground ice were floated as possible sources of the water. One of the springs even appears at a fault line, according to Malin, just as they often do on Earth. The shortness of the gulleys, which seem to flow for but a few hundred yards, might be accounted for by a process similar to a volcano's eruption on Earth, with water instead of magma building up underground, and ice, instead of fire, characterizing the resulting flow."
Um, that wasn't water. I had had a lot of juice earlier, and there wasn't a gas station or anything to be found... sorry about that.

Finally, conclusive proof of the existence of SPACE DINOSAURS living under the Martian surface in a network of vast subterranian caves, probably plotting to invade Earth any day now. Why else would there be water on Mars? Think about it.
In related news, Starbucks announced it is booking passage on the next flight to the Red Planet. "This enables us to continue our mission of providing coffee to the races of the solar system," said its CEO. "I look forward to asking our first Martian customer, 'Would you like a double mocha latte, Mr. Xzart'FooKniznak?'

Move over, Dasani, Poland Spring, and Evian... Here comes Lunar Liquid!
Thats no moon.
"Look, there is some water! Quick, lets crash a probe there and create a nice impact crater where very possibly the last life on Mars exists!"
No WONDER life on Mars has been so hard to find; it is hiding out of fear.

You, in fact, did spell his name incorrectly. The correct spelling of his name is as follows:

No. I'm sorry. We cannot allow "Squirt" to enter our vernacular as a word for sending data wirelessly. No way.
Everything seemed to be going so nice

If they have found water on Mars this could send the price of water down.
No matter where you go, there you are.

Martian Martini?
It's just the normal noises in here.
"Mars is essentially in the same orbit... Mars is somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If oxygen that means we can breathe." -- Dan Quayle, 8/11/89
Oh, say does that Star-Spangled Banner entwine / The myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's vine?
He apparently had seen this stuff in mars rover pictures and predicted it.... guess nasa has finally came to the same conclusion.
Actually, the water is really the face on Mars crying.
Probably because of something you did.
Where does the school board find them and why do they keep sending them to ME?
But, I agree, let's send someone up to take a look and find out.
Did you just volunteer?

Listen, pal, if there's life on Mars we're going to wind up bombing the hell out of it sooner or later. They might as well get used to it now.
A photo that Nasa published over a year ago already unquestionably demonstrated the existence of water on Mars, see http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap050401.html
(And if you're still not convinced you can even try this at home...)
This sounds like every party, ever.
"Aw man, I can't believe you left our chess club bash last night. FIVE MINUTES after you left, the entire cheerleader squad stumbled in and started making some unconventional moves with the bishops!"
"Dude, you JUST missed it. The keg floated FIVE MINUTES ago, and the stores are all closed now."
"Man, I'm telling you, the water was just here FIVE YEARS ago. What took your ass so long to get here?!?"

Great, who's couch is Tom Cruise going to ruin this time over this finding? Maybe Scientology was right after all.

Now all we have to do is locate and turn on the alien machine, to melt the glacier, that will make Mars habitable.
It is better to be the hammer than the anvil.
That's correct! Their track record is currently only interplanetary. We're still arguably at the dawn of space travel (assuming there's a whole day of space travel ahead of us, otherwise we're not even at the dawn of space travel). Therefore we have no stellar flight, only interplanetary. Perhaps you were just born into the wrong century?
Like what I said? You might like my music
There is absolutely no proof that there's actually water in that glass. It could be liquid carbon dioxide. Enough of this junk science.
This is my post. There are many others like it. If you don't like what you read here, go try one of the others.
Amen to that! Infobukake is a far more dignified term!
You could only recruit half a colony. Colonies need women, you know!
yeah - with our weapons of mars destruction
