I am on Mars. :)

[Gerbil]

Well my name is anyway

Yes, I've sent my personal details to the Martians on the Phoenix lander, so they know where to find me on their next trip to probe us Earthlings

I forgot I'd signed up for this, until I just got this in my email:

[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']"As part of The Planetary Society's Messages from Earth program, your name — along with a quarter million others from around the world — is now on the surface of Mars. Landing with you on the disk is Visions of Mars, a treasure trove of literature and art — from classic works by Arthur C. Clarke and Ray Bradbury to Orson Welles' radio retelling of "The War of the Worlds" to a special audio recording of Carl Sagan delivering a message to the future."[/FONT]

"The War of the Worlds"

Just what you need to open up a conversation with when dealing with new-found alien friends.

Must have some very intelligent bacteria on Mars to be able to appreciate that lot.

[bkkmadness]

Orson Welles' radio retelling of "The War of the Worlds"

And nobody considered this might be inappropriate?

The Martians may have a real problem with prejudice and zap us all.

How much did it cost? My 'Next life on Saturn' project is very competitive. Major credit cards accepted. There is also a monthly payment scheme.

References provided of course. And letters of recommendation from satisfied customers.

I bet David Bowie is making a fortune again.
