Okay, gang, this is so good that I, a lurker of long standing, have been forced to post something.

Look at this Opportunity photo:

http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all/1/p/045/1P132185547EFF05AAP2561R1M1.HTML

In the upper right there is a man's face emerging from the sand. He looks to the distance preoccupied with some inner turmoil; yet he fixes his bow tie -- multitasking as he prepares for some coming event that requires his ever so trim presentation. As you magnify this photo, the illusion's strength hardly diminishes in it's potency.

Hopefully, this face will launch a thousand ships to Mars as Earth sends it's best to shake those hands and look more directly into the eyes of the first true Martian contacted. We know their color already -- blue.

Of all the forums, I choose here to announce the discovery -- as a prize to all here who have contributed so much to my addiction to the rovers.

Okay, I know, this is not going to be believed, but oh, ma, gawd......

The Bow Tie Guy is actually a depiction of one of our most famous American Presidents.

Can anyone guess which one he is?

Go here for his proper place
