They named a rock!?  :jester: Other than that, thanks for keeping us posted. I once got into trouble for naming a cow.

edit: We did eat the cow at a latter stage. Yum.

My dad always said never name anything you might have to eat.

Given Mysteron347's photograph of a native Martian (who looks very much like the mother-in-law on a good day) I guess we are now at war with Mars.   Anyone else seen "War of the Worlds"?   :jester:

LOL +1 to Mysteron347's "rockbiter" now that bring back memories.   :thumbsup:

I hope Mars is not a planet full of those and PO'd about our little rover.   All though it sounds like Lawry's mother-in-law will sort em' out if they come earth's way :jester:
