re: This IS a joke - the latest finding from Anomalous Mars

It's worrying that people like this are able to drive on public roads and vote in elections. They claim such amazing findings, without understanding one IOTA of the subject matter involved - this 'lady' has 'appeared' since the beginning of the mission - BECAUSE THEY'RE 300 METRES FROM WHERE THEY STARTED!! ARHGHGHGHHhgghhARHhgahrhghahghghgh

Hell, I once worked in a supermarket as a summer job at university. Once chap arrived at the checkout and asked for a pen. I gave him a pen and he proceeeded to cross a line thru all of the barcodes on the products he was about to purchase. I asked him why. He said that the line would tell the scanning machine not to iradiate the products. I briefly laughed, and asked him if he was serious. I tried to explain to him that even if the barcode reader could see the line (which it couldnt) - there is no iradiating equipment in there, my ambitions to have children one day would be severly curtailed if there were :D

He was un-wavering on his insistance that by putting a pen line thru barcodes, the products wouldnt get iradiated. Madness, it really is.
