Wood found on Mars? Not Photoshoped - off the nasa website.

Nasa.gov ^

[Next_Time_NJ]

now im not a betting man, but i know landrovers and there space caps are not made of wood. This clearly looks like a wooden plank to me. Unless someone hacked Nasa.gov's website and put up a photoshop'ed photo, this looks kinda odd.

No - not THAT - anything but the dreaded Martian Energy Banks.   They force me to dye all my greenbacks blue making them worthless, and they charge me 1,000% interest per day and raise my taxes by 10,000%.   I told you that exporting all the liberal dems to Mars would come back to haunt us.

arrrgh

WOW - cool pics!

Your hypothesis in #152 sounds very convincing. The pics are good supporting evidence of that.

Maybe NASA will give us more info when they assess the complete mission.

I think it came from Dorothy's house.

Does anyone remember Bradbury's overnight forest?

Why on Gods green Earth, in the year 2004, almost 2005 are we taking pictures of another planet (that by the way took hundreds of hours of sophisticated technological workings in order to reach) with a black and white camera? that has always pissed me off.

[expatguy]

I knew it!!

[cabojoe]

The navigation camera and the hazcams are black and white, but the Pancam is actually a pair of color cameras with filters. http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/spacecraft_instru_pancam.html

Translate into english, please.

Thank you. Aside from the information I gather at FR, I look forward to the rapier wit of the posters here. I swear I've laughed harder reading FR than any comedy site on the web. They say that real comedy is based on truth. As FR is the foremost source of truth on the web for me, they go hand in hand.

So yes, Virginia, humorous posts in conjunction with intellectual dissection of any given issue go together just fine.

[Maigrey]

PING!

[aculeus]

Jeez, I go away for a few days and miss out on a freepmail scolding.

[Central Scrutiniser]

I got the same freepmail.

What a tool.

I think it came from Dorothy's house.

It was from the Rover...it was the captain's log....

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

Well, whoever was there before, could not find a bathroom, it petrified & froze in the cold and there you have it !! :-)

[Battle Hymn of the Republic]

I got the same private freepmail...

I told the buffalo head to lighten up and have a great day!

Do you really believe that your inane comment in any way contributes to knowledge or the very purpose of FR. Please grow up and come back with some maturity.

Hmm. I was the first to point out the other wood in the pix, and I added a bit of humor that your grim demeanor cannot grasp.

That's Sam:2, Buff:zip.

BTW, if you're going to "call me out," Mr. Inanity Policeman, then do it in public, not freepmail, and shame me as I deserve! Oh, the agony!

[sam_paine]

Hey! You got reprimanded, too! #179

I don't feel special anymore. And you even got a question mark in yours from Buffalo Head. |^P
