A rock.

And a computer enhanced picture of said rock.

Remember awhile back during the last Mars rover action there was this tail thing that was going around the interwebz? It was a hoax.

That being said.

Is there life elsewhere? Absofreakinglutely!

Is there life on Mars? Probably....but probably microbal or maybe small invertibrates. I think the big question about Mars is. Was there life there.... Did life start there? It has all the right parts and pieces. It's just too damn cold and the atomosphere sucks.

I still believe if we end up sending people to Mars we will find evidence of life there. And maybe, evidence of intelligent life that once lived there.
