I made A's in my geology classes... of course they were introductory classes at UT Austin... otherwise known as 'rocks for jocks'

LOL seriously, do you agree that there is a good chance the rock is from the floor of Gusev?

I have NO emotional investment in this- I am happy enough to see rocks on another planet, and I know whatever we find will GREATLY expand our knowledge... I also fully understand that drawing analogies from our earth knowledge is highly suspect... whatever is the result we have learned a lot...

I would love to see evidence of evaporites- but even if such evidence is uncovered we will have to wait through hours of the Michael Jackson trial and retrospects on the sitcom 'Friends' to hear a few minutes of mars facts... I better stop here before I get too cynical...

sigh....
