'Alien skull' spotted on Mars

Ooooer and the Ice Warriers came from Mars too -- spooky

Although to the untrained (ie Pogles) eye, it looks like a lump of rock.
Is it a slow news week?
First mass hysteria over a bit of a cold and then this?

Why is credence given to this tulip? Its clearly a rock and not an alien 'skull.'

Look how big the ear hole is - Consistent with the fact that you'd need pretty sharp hearing in Mars's atmosphere, as it's only 1% the density of Earth's so sound doesn't travel too well there.

(not that this is anything other than a lump of rock[*], unless there's a headless statue just out of shot)

[*] or an alien bowling ball, with two tentacle holes

If you look closely at its lips, you can just make out that he was saying "dig me out, I'm sitting on a horse".

Ummm... the only "skull" with the nasal bone attached. It's an effing rock like any other effing rock.

If it was green I for one would be convinced

Cheers,

I was wondering where I'd left that.

I'd forget my alien lizard head if it wasn't screwed on.

It's a hoax, obviously made from papier mache.

I recently watched a Doctor Quatermass program and it had real footage of Martians on Mars. They looked a bit like giant locusts, and nothing like the ones in War Of The Worlds.
