Spaceship Monument on Mars, tell NASA imbeciles !

[extrasense]

Sure, the question remains how such an unusual structure has been formed. <br />It looks different from different angles, but the fact is - it is unique, and begs an explanation.<br /><br />If it were formed geologically, and then exposed through errosion, how we to explain that it has not been still reduced to the pile of rocks by that errosion?<br /><br /><br />ES

I wonder what the aliens were trying to say when they build this monument?

 

[extrasense]

Good guess <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /><br />

Well, that one may not be real, but there is one that I do know about on the way to Yellowstone. There are serveral rock features, Holy City, Elephant head, Chimmney rock, old lady and cabin, laughing pig, indiain woman carrying a pappous(sp?), henry ford and his model T, and many others. Much better than you find on Mars...<br />Some are pointed out, other you have know about. Sucks, I am not able to google up anything.

Well, the whole point is, it's just a rock, you can think whatever you like... or see whatever you think you see.

Here is some stone masonry from that monument:<br /><br />http://mywebpages.comcast.net/mycommon/2p493-2P170120183EFFAAEEP2537R1M1-stone-masonry.jpg<br /><br />e <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> s

Aha. We're back to the "nothing natural can ever have a regular geometric expression, and never right angles" line.<br /><br />Say, didn't we cover this once, with you saying a shape was impossible in nature, and me posting a picture of that very *naturally* occurring shape? <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>

No one's biting at the "other" site. He posted this on the 28th...and you can hear the crickets. He's trolling again... <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>

Yev, <br />You never posted picture of ETOP, remember that.<br /><br />The monument-like structure, built of the regular shaped, joined by the cement rocks - is <b>more likely than not to be artificial</b><br /><br />e <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> s<br />

 

[ldyaidan]

I have to agree on this one. It's a rock. Much as I would love for it to be proven otherwise, it's a rock, and the FOM is just an unusual geographic feature. I think if we were to get some of the posters here a set of ink blots, we could keep them busy for years....<br /><br />Rae

 

[Leovinus]

I think we should hold a contest to see who can best rewrite the lyrics of the Bob Seger tune "Like a Rock" to be called "It's a Rock" about the FOM. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
