I had access to the translated hieroglyphs at the foot of the Martian Sphynx and some lines caught my attention...:

'...For I, foreseing, built a Sacred Promontory,
for the Near and Dear Ones Glory.
Anathema! I condemn the far ones to fill with their spit
the crater of the beacon myth...'

And it goes on the same line but the language used by this martian sages would make blush the more sensible ones...
Be affraid... ph34r.gif

You've blood on your hands, boy, no doubt about it. Where once there was the symphonic harmony of international exploration, now rule the martial gods of Civil War! Cry, Havoc!

Sorry, I've been down in Pasadena at a JPL meeting. They wanted the opinion of a political media communications guy as to what name to give the beacon. It was all very confidential so I can't tell you what we decided on other than to say, "Oh, who lives in a pineapple under the sea?....."

Who soaks up his gut-feelings quick as can be?
Absorbent and yellow and porous is he.
Who won't face the rigors of trigonometry?
Absorbent and yellow and porous is he.
Who suffers from holes in his grasp of the-o-ry?
Absorbent and yellow and porous is he.

The preceeding message was a propaganda ploy paid for by the Knights Who Say "Near". ph34r.gif
