The "Mars Fossils":
	I don't know about all of you, but the pictures of the "Martian"
microfauna look a lot like something out of a second-year igneous
petrology text - zenoliths with some alteration product around them. 
Here's a whimsical conspiracy-theory thought:

NASA wants more funding.
Many forces in the US government would like to shut them down.
"Martian Life Discovered!"
Bill Clinton hints at more missions to Mars.

Remember cold fusion?
