[meteorite-list] Life on Mars!

[Chris Peterson]

I doubt it's a prank, although there's definitely a stitch line just 
below the object. Look closely at the full image, however. I don't think 
we are seeing _a_ rock (with an extended arm), but rather the exposed 
end of a larger rock, which extends to the right, and may be partially 
covered with sand. There are lots of other similar rocks in the area 
that are shaded on the same face (of course, they don't trigger our 
pattern recognition circuitry so strongly).
