BREAKING NEWS – Houston, Texas – A photo from NASA’s Curiosity rover on Mars set the Internet abuzz last week with claims that the robot had found a “thigh bone” on the Red Planet. Initially NASA explained that the “so-called” bone was nothing more than a weathered Martian rock. Now, they’re rethinking that assessment, because the Curiosity rover later found in that same area, a plastic fork, and an empty bottle of salad dressing.
