Why is this News?????

Why do newspapers and online news sites have to make up a story? Do people really get intrigued by this kind of stuff?

The story is about a rock that was seen on Mars which ever so slightly resembles a woman sitting back with her arm out. And this is news how? It’s a rock, no not The Rock, just a friggin rock. Get over it.

Headline: Rock found on Mars!

I guess that would not have been very intersting.

The story is here if you really want to read it, not that it is much of a story…

– UPDATE –

Space.com has announced that the figure on mars is not a sentient life form, only a rock.  Thank god they told us sheep that, I never would have figured it out myslef.

WWCPD: Q: It’s an unknown – isn’t that enough??
Picard: If you’d earned that uniform you’re wearing, you know it’s the unknown that brings us out here!
