Mystery solved

Or, actually, not solved at all; it just got more curious.

The Mars rover, Opportunity, took a picture of what scientists originally thought was a small rock.



However, scientists at the Private Association for Cosmic Observation reviewed the photo using state-of-the art, proprietary picture enhancement technology, and were able to positively identify the object as something else altogether...



Opportunity has now been instructed to keep its eyes open for Moon Pies.

    Deborah.... The folks at JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) think Spirit (Opportunity's sister) is mired in a gypsum pit, when in fact, it could have found the moon pies...or mars pies.

    Opportunity is obviously exploring the southern part of Mars.

    That settles it. When I get to Mars, I'm opening a BBQ joint!
