Could This Show That Some Martians Have A Sense Of Humour?

[sandyRoe]

I've long been of the opinion that there is life on Mars. I think this may show that not only is there life but it, or one of them anyway, has a sense of humour. What other explanation could there be for this rock appearing where it did?

I so want a scantily dressed Martian to burst out of the rock shouting....

Surprise, Surprise!!!!!....☺

Sailing stones are cool, and mysterious - but the answer is most probably Ice,Ice baby ;)

I prefer a Milky Way myself:-)

Have you not tried Galaxy? It's far better.

@Sandy But the actual reasons for the mysterious are pretty fantastic in their own right. That is part of what makes science so amazing and endlessly fascinating. ;)

The image in that link is disturbing. Could it be that we are not along? ^

That chevron in the crater seems to have only come to light recently; I suspect that it's just an image effect.

"to have only come to light recently"

Hah! Good pun :)

Thanks for the explanation, snags. At least it seems to be a new illusion, not some old pony doing the rounds again.

Its all about the pixels ;-p

I've got pixels at the bottom of my garden, too.
They keep hiding my gardening equipment from me.
