Final proof of life on Mars!
This may be a little off-topic, but I think this is earth shattering news!

Brussels 2008-04-01: ESA reports that the unmanned spacecraft Mars Express shot a unique photo of a crater on Mars, which some say is the ultimate evidence that there is or has been intelligent life on Mars.
The unnamed crater located on Vastitas Borealis in the northern parts of Mars is about 35 kilometers in diameter and 2 kilometers deep. Scientist first discovered what looked like a circular patch of residual ice and decided to investigate further by sending the spacecraft back over the crater to take closeup photos.
What they discovered was that the patch of ice, looked suspiciously like a drawing. Some scientist are maintaining that it must be an optical illusion while others claim that it may be college prank. Most scientist though are convinced that the drawing is too complex and must have been made by a highly developed Martian life form and consider likelihood that college students traveled to Mars to trick scientists far fetched.
The drawing is more than 16 kilometers (10 miles) in diameter and is unequaled by anything on Earth. As no other activity has yet been detected on Mars it could be that the civilization that created this has long vanished meaning that the drawing could be tens of thousands of years old.
On the other hand, some scientists are surprised that the pattern had not been detected by previous spacecrafts, and speculate that it may have been constructed recently.
Speculation on what the Martians were trying to achieve with the drawing is rife. Some say it represents a Martian deity, while others claim it is a sign to the inhabitants of neighboring planets.

Well, your existence is already a proof, Otto :p
