Ok, maybe it’s not from Noah’s Ark. And sure, it’s probably not even wood. But you can check out the full picture from NASA’s site here and make up your own mind.

    Imagine if it really was wood.

  2. magnumpc says:

    Clearly, the non-union Martian construction crew was sloppy in their clean-up before they left for Alpha Centauri.

  3. Buzz says:

    Wait till they find the rest of the fence.

  4. bobbo says:

    Imagine if it really was marshmallows.

  5. Les says:

    If it really was wood, everyone at NASA would have wood.

  6. Buzz says:

    I like how many sites have nominated this image to be “secret” and “previously unreleased.” Actually, it has been on the NASA site since it was shot on May 24, 2004.

    When viewed in 3D (got glasses?) it looks rather like a twisted strand of black lava, snapped at the nearer end. I’d bet that if it were sitting on your coffee table, nobody would ever mistake it for wood.

    Maybe it’s a piece of Santa’s sled from when he conquered the Martians.

  8. sargasso says:

    There are more of them, in the big photo, near the crater rim. Looks like debris from a ship wreck.

  9. Paddy-O says:

    Looks like the other rocks around it, only edge on.

  10. The DON says:

    I am more interested in what a campfire is doing there. Look above the ‘wood’ in the distance.

  11. Buzz says:

    Odd that nobody used this as proof of “plankton” on Mars.

    Puns aside, it argues strongly for a vital Martian lumber industry. But from the look of it, they’ve done some serious clear-cutting. Now there is no more life on Mars.

    Coincidence? I think not.

  12. Special Ed says:

    #10 – They are burning the wood. This is shit NASA doesn’t want you to know about.

  13. pedro says:

    That is the piece of wood were the real Muslim laws that muslim extremist say were given to them by the prophet. No wonder they’re so lost.

    #10 I thought the same thing

  14. chuck says:

    Clearly, the prop department at NASA, who faked the moon landings, and faked these Mars probe pictures, have screwed up.

  15. hhopper says:

    It’s amazing how your brain insists that you know what you’re seeing. It does it’s best to make something out of nothing.

  16. No Brainer says:

    So what does NASA say about it. I couldn’t find anything. It can’t be wood.

  17. Hugh Ripper says:

    This item in question is clearly a Cadbury flake (do you have those in the USA?), throwing into doubt the claim that women are from Venus.

  18. bill says:

    So how about rolling over there and taking a close look? That is the rover thingie taking the picture right?

    It’s interesting to think about! LIke finding a bunch of aliens trash dumped out on the ground…

  19. jescott418 says:

    To play devils advocate here. What if it is wood? Then the question is where did it come from? There is no trees on Mars, at least not recently.
    Then of course the real questions come up in the back of all god fearing people. Is what we have been taught and told for hundreds of years become questioned? I myself begin to wonder as I watched some interesting facts come to light which question how things were created.
    Finding something simple as wood on Mars brings into question so much about even our small solar system. It will be interesting how much technology will unearth that maybe we would rather not know about?
    Think about it?

    Now I’m wondering where the rest of Noah’s ark went to.
