Life On Mars Proven To Exist

This is one among seven photographs released to the public early this week by NASA scientists analyzing soil sample data sent back to earth by the Phoenix Mars Lander. The evidence revealed in this and the other six photographs prove once and for all that highly evolved lifeforms existed on Mars in the not too distant past. Since it is believed the almost humanoid creatures - now turned to stone - dined on the plentiful perchlorate found in the immediate area, the scientists have unofficially dubbed the species "Perchlorian." It would appear Perchlorians were a lighthearted, if not downright jubilant lot. The hallucinatory effects perchlorates are known to produce here on earth among Chile's Atacameño shamans result in similar countenances.
