Somewhere, in the bowels of The Mighty Red Planet, NASA probes found the origins of the Howard Dean carbon-based life form.

They should have sent a metal detector and a shovel with that thing just for curiosity.

You know, I support Mars exploration but to talk about taking pictures of rocks in such an excited fashion is not quite normal to me.

That's not a meteor. That's a big pile of frozen sh!t!
What? N-no. That's a meteor. It fell from the sky.
I'm sure it did, cause it fell from an airplane. See the peanut there?
Maybe it's space peanut.
Nope, that's a big ball of frozen poopy.

6 feet here, close up of a rock there. Come on, move people. Let's drive to the crater rim and look at the canyon walls. And next time, let's plant something (and I don't mean a flag).

This is an update from the mars rover website:

SPIRIT UPDATE: 
Spirit reaches out its arm for studying the rock called 
Adirondack, and gives a good indication of what the soil 
on Mars is made of including the detection of a mineral 
called olivine.

According to this article, this probably means there has been no water in this area (Gusav Crater), perhaps not ever.
