The "real" reason the Mars rover went silent
Many of you would be aware that this week the Mars Rover Spirit stopped responding. This image of the Mars Rover explains why this might have
happened...

When I saw the Subject line, I was sure I'd be looking at some Lucas electrical part on the Mars rover . . . (Off, Dim, Flicker).

And where do you want to go today?
Did it have an intel sticker as well?

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Read the other day that the Rover's computer rebooted 60 times over a day or two.
Sounds like the Celeron may be at fault.
Either that or someone downloaded 'Porn Kings Download Plus'.
My personal belief is that [tinfoil on] Russian saboteurs have entered the Stargate at Babylon (the real reason the US has been in Iraq) and scuttled
the Rover. They don't want it to discover the ancient atmosphere-generating equipment under Mars' surface. Remember 'Total
Recall' with Arnold Schwarzenegger? Their goal? World domination, of course!!
