FOUND: One Martian Skull

Bong just waiting to happen

Ahhh, science. Master of the unknown once again.

When was the last time your Jesus found an alien corpse? Huh?

NASA's robot monster, Spirit, captured the above image while cruising the Mars strip.

Might it be a relative of the Jawa found January of last year?

From the Telegraph:

At first glance it looks like a rocky desert - but this image of the Mars landscape has got space-gazers talking.

An oddly shaped space boulder appears to show eye sockets and a nose leading to speculation it might be a Martian skull.

Internet forums are full of chatter about the picture, taken by a panoramic NASA camera known as Spirit.

One alien-spotter speculated: "The skull is 15 cm with binocular eyes 5 cm apart. The cranial capacity is approximately 1400 cc.

"There appears to be a narrow pointed small mouth, so this creature most likely is a carnivore."

Another joked: "The coronal ridge shows ample structure to support the musculature of antennae, although none are visible in this view.

"The nose area is broad and blunted as you would expect to see in a cold and windy landscape. Is he decapitated or is he buried up to his neck?"
