NASA rover finds

Is NASA planning to recruit Julia Child?

In an area dubbed "Berry Bowl", where many dark and mysterious spherules or "blueberries" are being found, NASA Mars nomenclature takes on a culinary flavor.

Mars rover Entry, landing and descent manager Robert Manning explains:

"It hit me almost immediately that the round spherules looked exactly like blueberries swimming in batter, so I came up with an image of blueberries in a berry bowl."

Mission Science manager John Callas disagrees

"To me, the spherules look like cocoa-puffs, and the powdery residue from the RAT abrasion tool, cinnamon sugar. The background matrix looks just like heavy cream. I mean, tell me you can't see that, too?!"

Snively protesting, Spirit Surface Mission Manager Jennifer Trosper scoffed

"You guys are nuts! They look just like fresh roasted peanuts in a matrix of creamy milk chocolate! I mean, how could you possibly miss that?!"

All three very busy team members admitted having skipped breakfast and lunch just prior to making their suggestions.
