Keith Laney 'Ferrets" out a Rat on Mars

Pathfinder... or Ratfinder?

Browsing through Keith Laney's newly updates site...
www.keithlaney.net...

I came across this fascinating article...

We have all sought life on Mars... perhaps THIS is finally the smoking gun we all have sought after....

Just sunning itself on a rock after checking out the lander....



Great way to start off a cooperation with Pegasus

Sure. Did you follow that page? Two shots from two
different inclinations... And frankly both look like a rock.

I can't see a smoking gun nor a rat. I can't find an interesting article either. So what are you talking about ?? Is this one of this stereoscopic pictures you have to look 1 hour on to see something?

ssttrreeettcchhhh!

Sorry man, looks like a good ole rock to me.

Don't look a thing like my pet.

heheh... mouse on mars...
It looks more like a dinosaur to me. Sorry.

I've seen that rat before!



Nintendo knew.

(I'm actually just trying to point out what a ridiculously useless picture zorgon actually posted. It looks as much like a plush cartoon rat as it does a real one).

Not even close.



That's supposed to be something?

Yes. It's a way to farm responses in a thread he knows will attract the rational people, who will jump on this nonsense like a weightwatcher on a Twinkie.

Are there are any COLOR pictures showing this rat or others like it???

Yup, I finally figured as much. But what does he need the responses for?

I'm guessing inane post count boosting. Something like that. Who knows. Maybe it is to take heat of John CIA Lear in his forum where the ship is taking on water at a truly alarming rate I am happy to say.

My guess is so he can tout the total thread views as some sort of validation.

If you'll look closely at the watermark in the OPs photo....it's clear they've misspelled that word.

I see a pile of martian poop; hence, thus, life.

Looks like the gang's all here...

Points envy, plain and simple.

Could you post the direct link to the article?

I've been knee deep in asteroids, "UFOs" and bacon reports today...

Honestly , i can see as to how you can interpret it as a rat , and it does have certain distinguishing figures.....but i think that too it is a rock.

Just look at the outer part of the "rat".....its just ....weird. A Rat would have more distinguishable featrues and be more oddly shaped i would think. And its sitting really perfectly still for a fiesty little creature.

So IMHO, its a rock. Guess it boils down to ones interpretation of it.

The rat is obviously decomposed, so its not actually a sign of life, and the beached dolphin snout to the right is really disturbing...does Greenpeace know about all this?

And have a point on me!

Sorry Z... I don't see it.

Also, the Picture is far from what i would consider a "smoking gun".

If you follow the links to the original pix, the author (tongue-in-cheekishly) claims that the "rat" actually moved between two snapshots. So it was alive and well. Not.

Looks more like a petrified White Castle burger to me...


Mmmmmm...White Castle....

Hey Zorgon where are you hiding my friend?

Was it a smoking gun or a smoking bomb?

Digging really deep these days for topics?

I'm headed to the closet to get my waders. The depth has inched near the top of my ATS boots.

Keep trying
