It looks a bit like some of the pics of meteorites I've seen, wonder when the next data on it comes in?

Looks like an iron meteorite to me, judging from the reflectivity and the rather melted looking profile. But how did it get there on the surface? Could have been buried, but eroded out into the open.
Fascinating.

Obviously, it's one of the tools that was being used to clean the space dust off the probe every night.

I was going to say that too.. looks like metal.. But if it fell from space it would have left more of a hole in the ground? Unless thats just a tip of a bigger peice in the ground.

Well, not necessarily. Most meteorites and meteorite fragments here on Earth are discovered on the surface. Most often, they were buried on impact, but reappeared when erosion exposed them, either wind or water erosion.
I know a place in Baja California where iron meteorite fragments litter the surface of several acres. Since these particular ones are not rare, they're not valuable enough for mass collection and sale, so they're still there, just sitting on the surface of a sandy place.
Pretty easy to explain, really.

Cydonia does not have a "face"
It was due to the low resolution of the Viking cameras.
High res photos from Mars Observer just show it to be an eroded mesa.
