"Mars Is Dead and Dry Except in the Noachian"
Whilst I often get annoyed by the use of corny acronyms, I found Prof. Vic Baker's phrase very appropriate. Ironically, like Fred Hoyle's "Big Bang" he uses the phrase contemptuously to dismiss a dry hypothesis for Mars and then goes on to talk about deep mantle plumes and breakout of giant floods in a much wetter model of Mars.
Like Hoyle, I suspect Baker is right only the negation...
