New Face on Mars Discovered!
Okay, I'm totally freaking out now. A few hours ago, I decided to search the Interweb to see how the face on Mars was doing. Routine clicking, right? Wrong. I loaded the latest satellite capture from NASA (J867-5309) - and this is what I saw. At first, I thought it was crud on my screen. I wiped it clean of any excess breakfast residue, reloaded my browser, and… the anomaly was STILL there. Okay, time to take out my looking glass; I've circled the spot in question:

This is NOT a PhotoShop! I don't even use PhotoShop, so how could it be a PhotoShopped image?! After manipulating my keyboard and clicking the mouse in a clever up-up, down-down, left-right left-right motion - I was able to clarify this area of the image. I'm sure it isn't a JPEG artifact, either - because my Internet Explorer saved it as a BMP file. Here's where it starts to get interesting. Check out this ultra-closeup zoom.
I was all like “that face looks awfully familiar.” I called up a couple of friends who work down at the Science Center Space Pops Pagoda, and they were completely unaware that we had even gone to Mars!!! Well, I knew I had to get to the bottom of this issue before the press started to call me about it. I downloaded the new “PlanetRockCleaner” plugin for my default image editor (Microsoft Paint, truly the best). After further clarification, interpolation, and yankovication… here's what I saw.
I f'ing knew it.

Freakin' wowie! You have to call Richard C. Hoagland, if he doesn't contact you first. Next, we'll set up a radio interview on Coast to Coast AM. I smell conspiracy talk. Damn, this is bigger news than the premiere of 'No Pants Friday.' Okay, almost as big. Oh, please send all donations to your favorite charity!

Ridicule is cheap - or is it ? the US-military has been paying ridiculers year after year, to keep the UFO-facts to themselves. Taxmoney, honest-working-citizens-taxmoney. If you’re on the paylist Chris, remember who’s money it is !
