"Where do you work?"
"The NickJa!"
"Ah awesome!"

The Lord speaks the truth. To be honest, I think the National Aeronautics and Space Administration should really be replaced with the National Ice Cream and Jellybean Administration. NICJA has a certain Norse ring to it, don't you think?

It wouldn't have cost them 11 billion if they had made it out of ice cream or powered it with jelly beans.

At least we're accomplishing somehting here, not like spending 11 billion to send a probe on a 9 year to the last planet in the solar system... Oops, nevermind, it's not a planet anymore!

My definition of "prettier" includes all those things, as well as Venus's delicious shade of yellow and ironic namesake. And everyone knows the Russians built their probes out of ice cream in the 70s, so I'm not surprised at all. They called it the "Cold War", remember?

It also has giant volcanos, a mostly carbon dioxide atmosphere, and pours acid rain on a constant basis. As I recall, a Russian probe went there in the 70's and melted seconds after it landed.

What puzzles me is why Bigfoot would want to go to Mars in the first place. By all accounts, they prefer either dense forests, or really big snowy mountains. Maybe he got lost on one of his spirit quests.

Of course, I'm at a loss to explain why we would want to go to Mars either. Venus is so much bigger and prettier.

Yay, I'm glad you found it - saved me a job. I read this in the paper this morning. Obviously it's just an odd shaped rock, but the whole thing is a funny idea ... if not creepy. My nan diplomatically said, "Well they film all these in the Arizonia Desert anyway don't they?"

Forget about going to mars.

Seriously. There's no glory in it any more. Bigfoot beat us there.
