    Now for something completely different
    A pyramid shaped rock has been found on Mars. In any place on Earth to find such a rock would be to have found an artifact, but on Mars it's just a rock, an unusual rock, but a rock.
    Pyramid shaped rock found on Mars by NASA rover Curiosity | Space, Military and Medicine | News.com.au

    When you find a symmetrical object it is usual to ask what could have shaped it, wind doesn't usually make things symmetrical and liquid tends to round things off and make them smooth.

    Could it be this has been left there for us to find?

    Little green men are hiding in their spider holes having what passes as laughing to them right now...


    I'm curious if they got pictures from the other side as well... that would make all the difference in the world. Didn't notice in the article if they did or not.

    No doubt we will see the other side when the rover moves on, wonderful how they think wind makes straight edges, and triangular shapes, I wonder what other marvels of science they will uncover

    I agree... I'm going to take a guess when they other side is revealed its not going to be what they saw in this side... the odds are just to great that it isn't.

    Hi Chuck, Walmart what's that? We have enough el cheapo joints here, we don't have that one. Dec 21 Chuck it's supposed to be the big day when the cosmic clock resets and the world falls apart, summer or winter soltice as the case may be

    Try this perspective

    The rock was left by the same beings who carved the human face in the rock at Cydonia

    No, Walmart here is like part of America, almost all items in store have English names, they even have taco sauce ( only place I have found it in a month) and the prize of all, a air mattress. After a month of sleeping on a bamboo mat, that air mattress is like sacred.

    They even blocked those video. I can't watch any Youtube, US TV on internet, Netflix and any US video company.

    They let me on that side, but then blocked each video I tried to watch

    It look natural to me. It doesn't look like it is attatched to the underlayment. If that is the case then the wind can polish the sides by dragging the stone across the land especially if it is made of basalt like they believe.
