Man, those NASA boys sure have a wicked sense of humor.

By the way, when did a Mars bar transform from a candy bar into an "energy bar"? Can't we just burn those instead of oil?; 10:14 PM

They very proudly trotted out a picture of something they announced was a peace symbol on Mars. Wowie zowie.

While they were patting themselves on the back for being so terribly clever, they were making total asses of themselves and showing their visual illiteracy. They weren't able to tell the difference between a peace sign (4 internal arms) and the Mercedes logo (3 internal arms).

Sometimes I think they don't quite understand Terran culture.; 1:09 PM
