AHAHA! I love Americans.

So, first there's this mildly interesting article about the possible discovery of water on Mars.

But then ... !!! ... these pages of hillarious comments that people leave for the story (some left many):

good thing we don't need the money being spent gazing at a dead planet on this one.

I knew it! War of the worlds here we come. I just hope they haven't figured out that vitamin C combats colds...

That Mars property deed I bought online a couple of years ago doesn't seem so funny now does it...

So aliens are real?

The CIA reports that the Martians are less than 3 years away from going nuclear.

It's life Jim, but not as we know it.

Great- enhance a blurry space photo and they have one more reaon to pick our pockets.

Think of all the social workers and yoof centers this could have financed. Think of the hungry fluffy bunnies.

Must be NASA funding time.

Long live the Far Out Space Nuts!

And what's all this talk about a moon base by 2020? Didn't Bond already cover that in the '60's?

Posted by Paul on 12/06/2006, 13:29
Maybe we can convince Madonna, Elton and friends that this is the hippest place to live!

Is this breaking story supposed to keep our minds off the Iraq Study Group report? It's not working.

When you show someone your bare butt on the moon do they call it earthing? Inquiring minds want to know.

The gullies on Mars are from the tears of laughter coming from the giant face they told us about a while back!

Posted by Paul on 12/06/2006, 13:35
Come on you guys, NASA speculations are never wrong.

Posted by Dave on 12/06/2006, 13:37
Bush just dispatched troops there to spread freedom and democracy.

Can you say photoshop?

Lets invade!!!

Posted by Steve Shockley on 12/06/2006, 13:44
Yes, it's water. Unfortunately the EPA has now declared it a wetland and we can no longer crash probes into it!

The bible says there is life only on earth. If tiny biological life forms on discovered on mars, they were brought there by the heathen rovers.

And tell me, how will this enable the 40% of American youth not getting a high school diploma graduate? And how does this help those in the Central Gulf rebuild? By 2024 this country is going to be a second rate nation, with a po****tion that can't read and conceptualize let alone be adventuring to Mars.

Posted by Scott on 12/06/2006, 13:55
Why are you stupid liberals even reading anything that requires thought. I'm suprised you havn't blamed Bush for Mars warming and creating the water.

Looks like bird ****.

This is simply impact from the recent GOLF BALL KNOCKED OUT OF EARTH ORBIT...NASA SCORED A HOLE IN ONE...NASA FIX YOUR DIVOT

Posted by Venetian Blinds on 12/06/2006, 14:02
I think Mars has started crying because it somehow got word that we will pay it a visit soon. I would start crying too.

Posted by PHIL Mick on 12/06/2006, 14:03
