PROBE FINDS EVIDENCE OF ROCKS ON MARS

Scientists today revealed that the Pathfinder mission had produced
evidence strongly suggestive that they had found rocks on Mars.

But some groups strongly deny this discovery, explaining away what
appears to be rocks on Mars as being, instead, faces, animals, and even
a Sun God in one instance.

"You name it, they're seeing it," said chief camera scientist Peter
Smith from the University of Arizona. "They outlined its pattern in one
of the alleged rocks, and by God, once they did that, you couldn't help
but see it."

However, he continued to insist that there was unmistakable evidence
that rocks had indeed been found.

Church leaders denied that the presence of rocks on Mars had any
theological implications. "We've known about rocks here on earth for
many years," a spokesman said. "But it's never been a question of
faith."

NASA are playing down the discovery. "Well we're pretty sure these are
real rocks we are seeing, but until we get six trillion dollars and fly
some guy over there, we'll not know if they are, perhaps, fossilied
remains of small animals or something instead."
