Re: Spirt and Opportunity Mission Thread

notable conspiracy theories:

The Coverup:
I found the real NASA panorama [jpl.nasa.gov] and sure enough, by blowing up that small section in the full uncompressed TIFF image and applying similar contrast/levels filters in photoshop, I was able to acheive the same results (although not as completely overexagerated as in that last frame).
"But Dan, obviously thats only a bug in the stitching of the mosiac shot!"
Oh what a perfect excuse... make a stitched mosiac, and anything you need to cover up is just a problem in the stitching... riiiight

The slotted rock:
"Hey Dan, I think its time to put away that tin-foil hat."
Hey! just TRY and tell me that "forces" like "water" or "wind" could carve not only a perflectly flat face onto a rock, but also a perfectly rectangular hole which obviously was used for attaching the rock to something at one point in time.
more [jpl.nasa.gov] and the gallery [jpl.nasa.gov]

And finally...

er, whoops... wrong link... hold on a sec...

Satire: A literary work in which human vice or folly is attacked through irony, derision, or wit.

This post was designed to poke fun at the conspiracy nuts. For those who bombarded me with negative rep: people do make use of tone on the Internet. Please learn to look for it.
