Along the "men are from mars" thingy, I found this on a science spoof website and think its quite funny

Why Is Mars Red
Why is Mars red?
Mars is red because that is where men are from. Men like red, so Mars must be red. Men get red when they are angry or embarrassed or trying to hold back a fart in mixed company. Mars is red because it has such a thin atmosphere, which cannot hold the blue like the earth's atmosphere can. Mars is also red because of all of the rusted iron dust surrounding the planet and all the rusted iron on the planet.
Mars used to be a big iron rock and over time it has rusted. Rust never sleeps and it is better to burn out than it is to rust. Into the Mars and into the dust.
No, really, why is Mars red?
Mars is red because it is made up of thousands or even hundreds of Mars bars. The light traveling through the galaxy gets reflected and refracted and by the time it gets to earth it is red. Mars, when you are close to it, actually looks like spumoni.
Seriously, why is Mars red?
The ancient Roman god, Mars was a great hunter (and resident of Georgia) who was smeared with red blood. Mars had a gun rack on the back of his truck, drank lots of beer and liked to shoot off his guns on New Year's Eve. Mars was originally called the Redneck god, but over time, people just started saying, "Mars is red."

On a fitness note, I did LEGS! today for the first time in a looooong time. my second set of squats made me want to cry hehe. found I didnt lose much strength, but the number of reps I could do was less than before, or maybe Im just a big sissy? I did 45 mins of easy walking after my leg w/o so that it would work a lot of the stiffness and jello feeling out, and I think it worked pretty well. Doesnt hurt to keep moving a bit more either. We were having MASSIVE thunder showers so I wimped out and took the bus 2 stops to our area of town instead of walking just to avoid ALL my clothes being soaked through.
Food is ON today! God bless watermelon season, thats all I can say right now. I LOVE watermelon. Only problem on the food front is that chicken breasts arent on sale and Im OUT of them totally
Looks like I'll be skinning the thighs that I have in the freezer and baking them on a rack so they dont wind up swimming in their own fat *blah!*
Ive also realised taht try as I may, I will never be able to drink psylium husks or crushed flax seeds.. for the third day in a row I gagged them up after drinking/eating them. They go down ok but my stomach doesnt like them at all or something.. waste of food!
