Bah, it’s a conspiracy... to deny infrastructure loans to Helium to improve its canals.

The Martians were also fools, who ignored the signs of Cosmic Warming.

I love cannoli, but I can't help seeing occluded arteries when I look at that picture.
To: sparklite2
But we’re talking about Mars, not Uranus.

For a time in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it was erroneously believed that there were canals on Mars. These were a network of long straight lines in the equatorial regions from 60° N. to 60° S. Lat. on the planet Mars observed by astronomers using early low-resolution telescopes without photography.
They were first described by the Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli during the opposition of 1877, and confirmed by later observers.
Schiaparelli called these canali, which was translated into English as "canals".
The Irish astronomer Charles E. Burton made some of the earliest drawings of straight-line features on Mars, although his drawings did not match Schiaparelli's.
By the early 20th century, improved astronomical observations revealed the "canals" to be an optical illusion, and modern high resolution mapping of the Martian surface by spacecraft shows no such features.--Wikipedia
