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.

    Taking a good look at that picture, I’ve determined Mars isn’t a very fun place to be. Not even to visit.

  2. Space Cowboy says:

    It’s wood, I just put a nail in it.

  3. oddalmighty says:

    It’s the horizontal piece of a crucifix. You
    can see the nail holes. God! Don’t they teach
    you youngsters anything in school these days!

  4. dude im with the guy above asking about the fire in the background. im doubtful to say this is even a real photo, simply because it should be impossible to have fire on mars, right? considering there’s no oxygen and all.. so what the hel is that fire thing doing there?

  5. FRAGaLOT says:

    that’s no fire it looks like a smudge or a whole in the film or paper, or whatever it was printed on or something.

  6. Glenn E. says:

    Interesting that SN mentioned Noah’s Ark. The same topic came up over Thanksgiving dinner, because my old man had a story to tell about seeing oyster shells in the Rocky Mountains. Of course, that was evidence of the great flood. But then he never got past the sixth grade, before the depression hit. So he didn’t know about how plate tectonics most likely formed those mountain ranges. And raised the land from below sea level, a long time ago. This has my wondering if this coming economic depression could lead to a whole new generation of under-schooled, religious fundies? Who know nothing about the world, but what their bibles tell them. God help us.

  7. Peter says:

    Clearly a piece of Noah’s ark.

    The crater must be the impact crater created when the ark crashed, and this piece of wood was thrown clear. It would have fossilized after all these years, so even if the analysis shows it’s rock, that’s just further evidence that I’m right.

  8. Viewing Logs Under The Microscope On Mars 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”.

    Scientists have this same problem when they look at things under the microscope. It’s called “ARKaic” methods of interpretating raw unprotected data.

    As I said.

    They must be slipping, normally they got people airbrushing all those things that the public may misinterpret. Like all those alien bases on the dark side of the moon.
    Mars has some wicked winds, object in the photo is probably just stratified rock that eroded to that shape. The bright object above it could be the opportunity rover, note the tracks head in that general direction.
    Mars gives me wood, and because of that it’s frustrating to see how no ones interested unless you start talking about earthlike-life there.

  11. JimD says:

    It says “Made in China” on the underside !!!

  12. Winston says:

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

    Possibly part of the reentry aeroshell. I’ve seen other images that show a lot of reflections from it.

  13. Mr. Fusion says:

    #30, Cow-Paddy, Ignorant Shit Talking Sociopath and Retired Mall Rent-A-Cop,

    As I said.

    Where?

    You have no credibility left. You have been caught in so many lies already. Just accept it, Grateful Nerd put up some qualifying information and you didn’t.

    It must really suck to live next door to you.

    #32, Jim,

    I could tell by all the lead paint over the melamine candy insides.

  14. DougE says:

    Sheesh!, everyone knows that this is a piece of excrement from a martian sand beast

  15. The Monster's Lawyer says:

    Looks like a “Mars Bar” to me.
    Yum.

  16. Paddy-O says:

    # 34 Mr. Fusion said, “Where?”

    Umm, post #9.

    God, cut down on the psychotropics.

    Here are my hopes for the future of Mars exploration.

    In the event people ever land on Mars, I’d like to see real-time video of a Martian creature, the size of the Rock of Gibraltar, emerge from below the surface where it has been patiently waiting. Then while all of us watch, it slowly and casually devours the alien invaders and lets out a big burp. Then it displays the universal middle finger salute, and smiles at the camera.
