Apparently Curiosity has found something curious but they're not going to tell us what is is just yet:

What could it be?

In reply to pasbury:

Beagle 2 remains?

In reply to pasbury:

Doesn't, in fact, help you work, rest AND play ?

In reply to pasbury:

Evidence of Malacandra? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out_of_the_Silent_Planet

In reply to pasbury: evidence of dry tooling?

In reply to pasbury: gritstone?

In reply to pasbury:

Russians?

In reply to pasbury:

Organic compounds.

In reply to hokkyokusei:

Left by the Russians/Little Green Men who got there first, got caught short and had to take a wild one?

In reply to pasbury:

My guess is that it's an ant. From observation in many countries I've concluded that there are more ants on earth than atoms in the universe, so statistically some are bound to have found their way over to Mars. It's probably one of those.

In reply to pasbury:

Elvis?

In reply to john arran:

I remember reading a sci fi short story many years ago where basically mars was once poulated by large ants which had made it to earth and evolved to be smaller to cope with gravity.

In reply to john arran: it'll be bleeding midges. Every planet in the universe which ever had the potential for life will have evolved midges.

In reply to pasbury: Hitler?

In reply to pasbury:
Wally?

In reply to ripper:

Elvis?

In reply to pasbury:

WW2 bomber, the one previously on the moon?

In reply to pasbury: keith richards?

In reply to pasbury:

I've heard it's Lord Lucan cantering around on Sheregar

In reply to JMGLondon:

Or Wall-e?

In reply to pasbury:

Absolutely stunning news! Apparently, NASA are poised to announce the discovery of life in the form of an extraterrestrial feline!

A spokesman confirmed that, in the early hours of this morning, the rover found a Martian moggie but, tragically, immediately ran it over... Curiosity literally killed the cat.

In reply to Clauso:
Curiosity literally killed the cat.

Probably for the best, the latest series of Red Dwarf isn't anything like as good as the earlier stuff.

In reply to ripper:

The argument about where the organic compounds came from will rage for decades.

In reply to pasbury: I just watched Prometheus

GET OUT OF THERE

In reply to pasbury:

The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one - but still they come

In reply to pasbury:

Boulderers.

In reply to pasbury: Canals.

In reply to A Game of Chance: Everyone knows Million to one shots almost always come off.

In reply to pasbury:

I've got no idea what it could be but I'm eagerly awaiting. I really hope they aren't a bunch of killjoys and deflate the excitement with some claim that ends up being false or refuted by others in the scientific community. I hope it's some solid evidence. If it rewrites history I will be celebrating for sure. Imagine the impact it could have on the consciousness and beliefs of those who think we are the only beings in our universe(s)... pretty exciting... but I'm not going to get my hopes up just yet... I'll just cross my fingers for now.

In reply to pasbury:

I wonder if it's the spare car keys I lost the other day. I've looked everywhere else for them.

In reply to pasbury: They've found the G-spot

In reply to krikoman:

I thought the G Spot was located in shopping malls.

In reply to ripper: Its probably tick marks on grit, left by the mammut team (they get everywhere), the scientists are so angry about it that they are having to wait a few weeks to calm down before they go public with it.....

In reply to pasbury:

It'll be a rock...


or a Banksy original =)

In reply to mack:

Aye, and I'll bet there's a sodding bolt in it.

In reply to pasbury:

Definitely Illuminati/Masons. Everyone knows they run the solar system.

In reply to pasbury:

Beagle 2's mission was to place a solitary footprint where Curiosity was due to land and then to go and hide........

In reply to pasbury:

Piltdown Man - he emigrated there.

In reply to pasbury: It's probably a giant face and some pyramids they found in '76, using curiosity as a cover to break it to the sheeple. At least I hope it is <dons tinfoil hat and eagerly awaits news>

In reply to nniff:

that's one great hop for man...

In reply to pasbury: Moon Nazis

In reply to pasbury: the smashed up remains of beagle 2 & an empty bottle of lambrini!

In reply to pasbury:

I reckon it's one of Si O'Connor's V14s, in the Outer Outer Hebrides - grade confirmed apparently.

In reply to pasbury: probably organics. i'm curious to know why Curiosity has no life detection equipment like Viking..

In reply to pasbury:

Is it the black cat in the black box?

In reply to A Game of Chance:

Yes and No......Oh sorry, wrong cat!

In reply to pasbury: the soup kitchen.

In reply to pasbury:

I've already posted this on here under its name, however the obscurity obscures the obscure......... trash TV
