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.
