Mars Rover spots "metallic arm" sticking out of a rock

[Engert]

That object could be nothing of significance. What's significant is that we're now starting to leave our home planet on a regular schedule (if you want to call it that way with the many Mars missions) to explore worlds beyond our own. That's exciting.

or it could be that they found a piece of the first mars rover NASA sent there that got lost

 

[Jamstruth]

It could be the remains of Beagle the failed British probe.
We'd never hear the end of it if it is though.

That would be hilarious, didn't they actually lose the Beagle?

LOL, Nasa doesn't even know what is that object, and 95% of the chances say that it's nothing important.
And yet the media label it as a metallic arm to incite the people's reaction.

GENIUS!!!!!!!

I've gotta +1 this. And it should be pretty exhausting being a spokesman for NASA right now.

journalist: what have you found?
spokesman: hard to say. We've taken some pictures, but we've yet to find out more closer what it really is.
journalist: OMG! It looks like an arm.
spokesman: ...if you say so. In any case,we'll let you know the moment we know what that thing is, okay.
journalist: yeah, yeah. Just a second. *calls editor* Herb? It's me. Put this on the front page: "MARS ROVER SPOTS METALLIC ARM". I'll send you the info as soon as possible.
spokesman: hey! What did I just say?
journalist: what? Oh...right. Yeah, give us a call if you know whose arm that is, okay?
spokesman: it's not an arm! It's...it's...fuck, I just said we don't know what it is. Are you gonna print your own opinion on this picture on tomorrow's headlines?
journalist: no, of course not!
spokesman: good. I thought I heard you say...
journalist: this is getting a special edition this afternoon!

Its not an arm, but its certainly not nothing. I don't care you are, whatever this thing is, its very interesting to say the least.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

Is that a metallic arm sticking out or are you just happy to see me?

 

[Clydefrosch]

[Psionic Roshambo]

I for one welcome our Martian Robotic Overlords?

 

[FluffyLunamoth]

Maybe it's a Cyberman. Someone got the Doctor on speeddial?

 

[Bladexdsl]

and it ends up turning out to be a chunk of metal sticking out of a metal deposit

 

[Lastly]

Am I the only one, but does it look like a foot more?
