I can foretell with 99.99999999 % accuracy the destination of this thread.

Nevertheless, a valid argument and point.

This site is a parody, isn't it?

It has a certain panache that the Martians have a statue to a lamb.
A certain je ne sais quois, there. Élan. Chutzpah, even.

One awaits the discovery of the sheep statue with scrapies.

As Demosthenes said on a previous thread on the same subject:

Quote:
This is like the tenth time you've posted threads about "evidence" of life on Mars which are nothing but funny looking rocks. This thread is going straight to ~Elsewhere~ where it now firmly belongs to. Any other new similar threads will be also dealt with accordingly.

We have to conclude that chances of us to have this existing picture
if the object were of nonbiologial origin, would be less than 10 in pover -12,
which is thousand times less than 1 in 1,000,000,000
Is that a problem?
What exacly is the probability for it being a fossil that looks like it's made out of rocks? And how big is the chance that this fossil looks exacly like on the picture?

I wonder what you would say if you saw a cloud in the shape of a rabbit...
Let's see, the probability for a cloud looking exacly like that must be 10^-25%, therefore it must be a real gigantic flying rabbit!

Of course it is! I usually try to befriend any passing giant flying rabbits, and I have succeeded in a few. They help me by chasing the black helicopters away. Nice guys, the flying rabbits. You should befriend one, too.
