A funny thing happened on the way to ...

"Reverse Engineering Department"

This image was already created when I stumbled into some YouTube™ broadcasts of the supposed Mars Photographs Cover-Up. The way I see it, anyone can say just about anything and believably back it up with statistical data, alternative theory, vague and indistinct imagery, ad infinitum. While that sort of thing is fun to watch and think about, I have a BIG problem with cover-up theories such as UFO's and said life on Mars documentation. When is the last time you tried to keep a secret? The minute you say, "you can't tell anyone this, but...", the lid is off the cookie jar and soon everyone will know it was you who spilled the beans! If information like this has really been covered up for all this time then the real story here is in how to keep mum about something a lot more important than whose house the postman, the milkman or the cable repairman is spending way too much time in. I don't know, it just doesn't seem possible given the blabbermouth factor of human nature. As for today's image and the object that's being reverse engineered? So sorry, that's a secret.
