'Monolith' Object on Mars? You Could Call It That - (music to play in background while reading)

Amateur stargazers have discovered an intriguing object jutting out from the surface of Mars. The seemingly perfectly rectangular, upright structure, found in NASA images of the Red Planet, bears a striking resemblance to the monoliths planted on Earth and the moon by aliens in the classic sci-fi film "2001: A Space Odyssey."

The object in question was first spotted several years ago after being photographed by the HiRISE camera onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, a NASA space probe; every so often, it garners renewed interest on the Internet. But is it unnatural — a beacon erected by aliens for mysterious reasons, and even more mysteriously paralleled in the imaginations of Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke, creators of "2001"? Or is this rock the work of nature?

Concepts of mathematics and time are not necessarily universal.

Something to keep in mind when looking for ways for aliens to be alien.

A friend of ours who lives in Jersey City just took this photo of Enterprise flying in (or being flown in...):

Is this the opposite of evolution?

They could definitely use these folks to make aliens that have more than the usual facial appliances making them weird.

There seems to be a geographical restriction in place for that video, I'm not allowed to see it. :(

Huh. Well, you could try googling "Japanese Man Develops Monkey Running Technique." It did start with a commercial if you have an ad blocker on.
