OK, was listening to the Art Bell radio show tonight (just listen for a few days to get a
Oliver
Stone RDA of conspiricies and gaming ideas), and there was this guy on there trying to
explain how
the infamous face on that rock on Mars was never fully explained or investigated by NASA
or anyone
else connected with the government.

Anyway, got to wondering if anyone had any good Fourth or Sixth World explanations on how
that
piece of stone got to be on a supposedly lifeless and uninhabitited planet.

Isn't that a question in Dunkelzahn's Will? Something like "To the person
that figures this out, they will get a zillion dollars." And a picture is
included I thought.

Or maybe that was the Mars picture with the flying saucers...

I might mention that in one of our Earthdawn games, a badly botched magic roll ended up
sending some
T'skrang eggs to Mars. Wouldn't it be amusing if a corporation found them and used genetic
recombination on them? A similar botch could have sent a chunk of rock up there. Hey,
maybe it's an
obsidian liferock. :)

Am I showing my age, or did anyone else think "Thars Tharkis" when
they read this?

<G> Heh. Maybe the conditions there led to a mutation, that caused the
development of six limbed t'skrang, taller because of the lower gravity....
