The Mars Doorway And Other Things

This image taken by the explorer's Mast Camera or "Mastcam" on Sol 3466 (7 May) ......

The Mars Doorway?

.... appears to show an opening with filed away rock and has generated much speculation by UFO hunters and cover-up conspiracists.

One social media user described the scene as "a formation on Mars which appears to be a portal and a wall nearby that looks artificial," but one Reddit user stated: "It's obviously not a little door, it's just a flat piece of broken rock." There has been no official explanation from NASA about what the "doorway" could be.

Mirror Images?

These two odd pictures were on the web ....

Spot The Oddness?

... no doubt photo-shop tricks, but mildly amusing or odd, depending upon your point of view.

Baby God

A three year old girl, Trishna Shakya, was named as the next 'Kumari' (Living Goddess) in Kathmandu, Nepal.

She was selected from a short-list of four candidates and now lives in palace, where she is worshipped as the living embodiment of the goddess.

Pastel Temple

This stunning picture is the entrance to the Batu Caves, a Hindu temple complex in Malaysia.

On the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, the complex attracts both tourists and pilgrims. You can see why!

Bloated Search Results

If you search for the term "Can't always express trapped wind in stomach" (don't ask!!), then the top 4 returns are all different Daily Express articles  ..... the other top result was a Daily Mail article ...

 

Bloated Express Readers

..... what that says about the readership of those two newspapers and why these are promoted to top results I can't possibly say. However dyspeptic springs to mind.
