Ah -- but the REAL burning question this raises is:

On Mars, is it wabbit season, or duck season?

Yeah yer the one that gave me the idea.....I'm lazy so I used a transparent
GIF. Putting them in manually would be too much work.

One small step for man, a whole lotta little footsteps for the fuzzy dude.
I am ****ed off that Opportunity squashed it. I had high hopes of achieving
fame by getting my names for the rocks (pebbles?) adopted by the geological
Establishment. Flopsy and Topsy! Great names! Road kill! That is about
my usual luck. What assholes.

If "it" was rocks, how come they're not still somewhat visible? Did the
wheel push them completely under the soil? Or did the rover go over the
what's-it at all?

The thingummyjig was gone before the rover even left the lander,
so it couldn't have squished it.

I think that Marvin dropped one of his gloves, when he came to check
out what was bouncing around, and then it blew away.

There ARE at least 4 of Marvin's ilk on Mars right now:

I saw a picture of the object being held on the arm of the rover. I
read on other forum that the thing is a fulgurite, a rock formed when
sand is hit by a lightning bolt.

Let us assume that it was lightweight debris from the lander, and that
the wind blew it away...because if the wind _didn't_ blow it away, and
it _wasn't_ lightweight debris from the lander, when it left under it's
own means of propulsion, and that would imply that the hunt for life on
Mars has been rather more successful then anyone imagined it would be.
This is one of those transients like the Viking lander team were looking
for.
Those two pictures are going to arose more conspiracy theories by far
than the "face on Mars" ever did.
