The Society for Planetary SETI Research has posted a stinging, informed rebuttal to the European Space Agency's (presumably deliberate) misrepresentation of the Face on Mars.

Go to SPSR's site and click on "SPSR News" (top link in left-hand side-bar) to read "The Two Faces of ESA."

BTW, Mac, I've never understood why the presence of the (admittedly bogus) horn would in an of itself rule out artificiality.

You're right -- it wouldn't mean the Face couldn't be artificial -- but it would deal a blow to the Artificiality Hypothesis as we know it since it would mitigate against a facial resemblance (a testable prediction).

Maybe the ancient Martians were just a horny bunch!

Perhaps Mars needs women after all! ;-)

Or all the SF series set in the Star Trek universe were right about all other humanoid races having distinctive furrowed foreheads.
