BAH!

Funny thing...why are these pictures *always* out of focus? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>

That isn't a skull. It is a helmet from one of the empires bikertroopers on Endor. He's a long way from home. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Once again....<br /><br />it's a rock. In a field of rocks. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <strong><font color="#3366ff">Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find and not to yeild.</font> - <font color="#3366ff"><em>Tennyson</em></font></strong> </div>

Those ancient Martians must have had skulls hard as rocks.

 

[jmilsom]

And pretty big noses too! Half of its face is a nose! <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Isn't the Death Star suppose to be coming around the side of Mars about now?

That's a rather good image of a fossilized molar from a Martian Monkey if I ever saw one. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <em>"2012.. Year of the Dragon!! Get on the Dragon Wagon!".</em> </div>

I'm sure next youll say the rocks around are also the remains of the animal's body

 

[mlorrey]

I think I see the image of the Virgin Mary on that rock. Quick, sell it to goldenpalace.com...!!!!

 

[mlorrey]

Haven't you guys ever read "John Carter and the Ape Men of Mars"???? It is obvious that ERB knew what he was talking about, that is a fossilized martian baboon skull if I ever saw one...

 

[raghara2]

Nice rock.<br />I think any real archeology would need to look below surface, to avoid problems with weathering and blasting fosils to pieces by storm. <br /><br />BTW how did he managed to blur so much that sharp picture? Didn't he even listened about image filters and oversampling? Irfanview - resample option would do much better job with magnification.<br /><br />They might run fast, but theirs IP address was logged and hounds could meet them in black forest anytime.

 

[unlearningthemistakes]

obvious as it is, they hit... then run. really fast. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>pain is inevitable</p><p>suffering is optional </p> </div>

 

[Philotas]

Good question, actually. Provocating? Being serious? <br /><br />My theory is that they are struck by paranoia. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

 

[bonzelite]

it's a piece from a public scuplture garden from an NEA grant during the sexual revolution of the 1960s and 1970s.

Look what I found. <img src="/images/icons/shocked.gif" /> Almost spooky to look at.. <br /><br />http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all/2/p/732/2P191352986EFFANBZP2447L7M1.HTML (check full version) <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

oh, my! <br /><br />martian voodoo ritual mask... <img src="/images/icons/crazy.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>pain is inevitable</p><p>suffering is optional </p> </div>

 

[bonzelite]

the whole blurry photos of pieces of bone or machinery is not doing much to gain credibility or public trust in exo-philes. <br /><br />i do believe there is life elsewhere, but the legions of recent alt-sci ET websites that publish pics like this, then claim it is evidence for aliens, is totally stupid. <br />

 

[hungrrrry1]

if you look at that whole picture dead-center and to the far left looks like a pigs head wearing very space-aged looking sun-glasses....I think we have something here.

 

[paigemattews2004]

looks like a trishaw from my country in the past but i still cannot see that it is a skull artifact on Mars...
