    The oven experiment also found carbon dioxide vapors, not surprising because the planet’s thin atmosphere is primarily carbon dioxide.
    Gee, you'd think Mars would be a very warm place due to all that global warming...

    Hold it. An experiment found carbon dioxide vapors on a planet that has an atmosphere comprised largely of carbon dioxide? That's a front-page story right there.

    We've known for quite some time that CO2 levels have been increasing on Mars. (It's all the manufacturing and SUVs...)

    Ah, but does the Mars soil have more nutrients than a Snickers bar?
    I thought not.

    Did the soil have any trans fats?
