nasa has eyewitness accounts, proving it is a meteorite from mars. not only did the witnesses see the rock leave mars, after hearing what they discribed as a 'funny noise', the eyewitness watched in awe as the rock headed straight towards earth. from the eyewitness account nasa pinpointed the exact location on mars that the rock originated from, its flight path, and landing pattern as well. nasa knows for sure the meteorite is from mars, they just don't make stuff up.

the funny part 'clem', is that all of the rocks nasa picked up on mars were meterorites from earth. nasa is now worried after finding so many martian meteorites that mars must be falling apart. they now want to spend the whole manure pile and an added p-pot full of money to get to mars and tie wire all of the loose rocks down. a roll of duct tape will also be used in an effort to save the earth from the sudden onslaught of meteorites from mars.

Looks like petrified wood. NASA can't tell the difference.

This is a fantastic day for using your brain with precision and accuracy. For instance, it's great for filling in a complicated form or going through some complex paperwork because you'll find it easy to concentrate on what you're doing. It's especially good for paying attention to the sort of finicky details that you normally aren't interested in but which are right up your street.
