A photograph taken by a Mars probe is causing a stir online because it appears to show a human-shaped object striding through a rocky outcrop. The Telegraph of UK reports that one overexcited blogger wrote: "My first thought: it's Bigfoot!"
my first assessment:
it's a rock.
my second assessment:
what exactly would Bigfoot be doing on Mars? A little far from his usual stomping ground, isn't it?
either way , do i care ? no , not really.
what the hell dose it change for me to know that big foot is in Mars anyway? not that its going to bring down the price of fuel, rice and rest of all the stuff we need for daily survival in Sri Lanka. talk about rice, it seems the Govt has made Rice a essential commodity , where by anything to do with rice can be dealt with the emergency laws and Prevention of Terrorism Act.
how that effects the brothers of our dear minister and general Secretary of SLFP , Mithreepala Sirisena MP is not some thing that I'm going to speculate, however my thoughts on this issue is this-
1. by adding the rice on the essential list the Govt will silence anyone or any entity that will talk about rice
2. Govt will enforce the PTA on people who will complain about the price/quality of rice
3.JVP is making too much noice about the Maithreepala brothers monopoly (no, not monopoly-its their consuming interest in rice ) in rice production/prices etc
4.people are eating too much rice , so its time we switch to Kurahan etc
5.when people start to switch to Kurahan the Medamulana monopoly on Kurahan will be rewarding.
6.more rewards mean more luxury bungalows in US/ few more Aston Martins can be bought.
back to matter in hand. Bigfoot in Mars.
well , me as a interested Ooorumiyaa with a multiple digging habit , i decided to do some more digging on this and found out that the Mars Rover that took this pix in 2004-5 had a cost of cool USD $ 820 mil in green notes. are these people nuts or what? and all that money to just find some crater that's called Gustav or some other thing that in fact is said to be a ancient lake.
this is overkill , even for a rodent like me. with the cool $820 mil , not only i could have showed a few hundred creators and ancient lakes in any A class road of choice of NASA in Sri Lanka but also could have thrown in few MPs with the name of Gustav to add some spice to the money.
in fact, that USD $ 820 mil could have not only paid the HSBC loan the Govt took last year but also upped the good old rupee too. ash, talking about HSBC any one remember how Ranil threatened to kick HSBC out of SL when they come to power if they give the loan and also how he threatened to go and camp outside the HSBC bank in Colombo? wonder what happened to that.
well at least the camping part, since Ranil will never make it to power this life time,HSBC underwriters must have just passed Ranils policy statement as a minor fart. but one question, when the Govt start to miss the interest payments , will a chick from HSBC call up Mahinda or Basil and inform that the payment is over due and request that a payment is made before a certain date ?
if not, what will happen? will be be end up in Mars? will big foot take me in ? will the cost of living in Mars be reasonable?
if so, can i take a boat out of Negambo to go to Mars and stay there illegally?
questions , questions...
