a Martian mermaid?

According to an article on the Beeb's website today (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7205004.stm), the baloneymongers are ablaze about a recently released NASA photo taken by the Spirit rover:

Yes, folks, there's something there that can only be a human figure . . . or a Bigfoot . . . or even a mermaid? My favourite of the suggestions the Beeb reports is that this is a member of an ancient Martian race that came to Earth and populated Denmark, where later they erected a statue of one of their number in Copenhagen . . .

Unfortunately for many of the theorists, the rock that's created the "human" illusion is only a few centimetres long.

Them Martians must have been little buggers.
