Blogs are having a field day this week with leaked images of what appears to be a plank of wood and a meal worm on Mars.

The fact that the images were taken in 2004 and not mentioned by NASA has tongues wagging and emails racing around the Internets. Conspiracy theories abound, such as the plank of wood came from Noah’s Arc.

There’s also talk of the leaked images getting someone killed.

Maybe it took NASA 4 years to come up with an explanation to explain away the obvious signs of life on Mars that they think Americans will believe.
