Picture from Mars shows humanoid figure?

He must be the one fucking up all the probes we try and send.

In what way was it a "hoax"? Still, no doubt 'Bigfoot' will go the same way when someone takes a closer look.

Whatever. All of the newspapers in Sweden are like Fox...got it.

No, Hortlund... I'm not going to get drawn into another one of your screaming matches. I'm not with the SH crew...

I dont even know what the SH crew is.

Anyway, I find it far far more plausible that the picture is of a rock, than that all newspapers in Sweden have a secret agenda to transform themselves into "my dog was eaten by an alien"-type newspapers.

Sheesh... I'm simply trying to get you to understand that any sort of news provider shouldn't automatically be worthy of respect. But that's probably hopeless.

That looks like a re-used picture from the old "In Search Of" Sasquatch episode. [;)]

That was the first thing I thought!

Gee, doesn't that cloud lok like a dragon? And that one looks like a fire truck! And the one over there looks like a Matrix games logo!

Same phenom?

Yup. And it is the same one that creates the "Face on Mars" you linked. Human brain, making sense of the random. It is what created similacra in objects (faces in tree knots, faces in tiles, Mary on a window, Jesus in toast).

If you look at the portrait of the Queen on the first printings of 1954 Canadian currency (everyone has some of those laying around don't they?) you can clearly see a Devils face. So many people saw and complained about this in the image that the Mint finally had to start withdrawing those bills from use and replacing them with a new version of the bill that had a different Queens portrait on it.

As for the picture above:

An expert last night, after viewing 3-D images of the object, clearly identified it as a very thin, small, shale-type rock formation. No question. So no little man on Mars....

Clearly it was a very slowwww newsday.... [;)]

Ahem...say what? [:'(]

That can't be right! The expert I saw clearly identified it as a form of Homo Erectus showing clear signs of highly developed intelligence and a clear preference for Hot Chilli. Also - rather keen on Armani suits and a tendency to like avant-garde 1930's French movies. [:D]

Or, for those basketball fans - the original University of Kentucky Wildcats logo:

What does your brain matrix here?

It has since been changed.

Well, it sort of looks like a little box with coloured geometric shapes inside...[8|]

[morvwilson]

I could be wrong, but I think it is called an "x"

Its all over the news here, including one of the most respected newspapers.

[cdbeck]

You can't see my pic? Comes out as an X? I see it fine... Bah!

[Dazooz2]

Clearly it is a picture of a Tusken Raider.

One can see clearly that the Cybermen blew it up.

or is it a piece of rock?

I wish someone or something would just shoot it. Then we could find out what it really was.

From Solarviews.com:

The average recorded temperature on Mars is -63° C (-81° F) with a maximum temperature of 20° C (68° F) and a minimum of -140° C (-220° F).

I hope the humanoid has a nice coat for the cold nights and some tanning lotion for the days. The ultraviolet rays penetrating the thin Mars atmosphere are a killer, as are the cosmic rays; Mars does not have the same ozone layer or magnetic field protection that Earth has.

Global dust storms on Mars can lasts months, but perhaps that is a shovel in his hand. That is a good thing too, because he likely would have to eat rocks. No lander on Mars has detected even a trace of plant life.

Of course, it could be an alien from some other star system just checking things out for a forward base camp.

Ugh ! And that thing should be shot, then grilled and eaten.

It looks like a sausage.
