Saturn's day is just under 11 hours long. Also, a Saturn year takes almost 30 Earth years. Your statement should be "Saturn is inhabited by dragons that fly 11\207". (assuming 52 Saturn weeks in a Saturn year)
so there's 207 days in a Saturn weak.?
I multiplyed 365 by 30 and then divided by 52 and got 210 1/2.

This is about when some fool quotes Bowie
It's a God awful small affair To the girl with the mousey hair, But her mummy is yelling, "No!" And her daddy has told her to go, But her friend is no where to be seen. Now she walks through her sunken dream To the seats with the clearest view And she's hooked to the silver screen, But the film is sadd'ning bore For she's lived it ten times or more. She could spit in the eyes of fools As they ask her to focus on
Sailors Fighting in the dance hall. Oh man! Look at those cavemen go. It's the freakiest show. Take a look at the lawman Beating up the wrong guy. Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know He's in the best selling show. Is there life on Mars?
It's on America's tortured brow That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow. Now the workers have struck for fame 'Cause Lennon's on sale again. See the mice in their million hordes From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads. Rule Britannia is out of bounds To my mother, my dog, and clowns, But the film is a sadd'ning bore 'Cause I wrote it ten times or more. It's about to be writ again As I ask you to focus on
Sailors Fighting in the dance hall. Oh man! Look at those cavemen go. It's the freakiest show. Take a look at the lawman Beating up the wrong guy. Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know He's in the best selling show. Is there life on Mars?

Yeah I liked it too. That was my era relatively. That is, when I was in high school girls still were these weird LSD party animals who used to rip guys up just because they though it was soooo Bowie. A different era.

The Mars Lady is: "obviously built by an ancient civilisation that later departed Mars and settled Denmark". People ACTUALLY believe this!
Personally, I think it's the Virgin Mary. If she can turn up on French toast, Mars should be a piece of cake.
Or maybe the human mind has an amazing capacity for filling in the blanks when information is missing... and for kidding itself when it wants something to be true.
This story would fit right in with the the M&P crowd! 
--

The figure captured by a the Nasa explorer Spirit in 2004 is actually a mermaid statue, and is proof that aliens established Denmark, so the theory goes.
The logic for this outlandish explanation comes from striking similarities between the figure and a sculpture in Copenhagen known as the Little Mermaid.
The resemblance has been pointed out on Internet message boards and appears to be one of the many tongue-in-cheek explanations circling cyberspace with the most support.
The Mars statue was "obviously built by an ancient civilisation that later departed Mars and settled Denmark", according to Madurobob on the JREF message board.
Other bloggers have suggested the Martian figure may be the Virgin Mary, or alternatively one of the Sand People - or maybe a Jawa - from the Star Wars films.
Spirit, sent to Mars to capture images from the surface of the planet, is one half of a $820m (£410m) mission, along with its twin explorer, Opportunity.
It landed on Mars in January 2004 for a three month mission to search Gusev Crater, a rock strewn stretch of soil that scientists believe could be the bed of an ancient lake. If Mars once had surface water, it had the potential to support life.
Inspired by the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale from which it takes its name, The Little Mermaid statue was erected on the water's edge at Langelinie in the Danish capital in 1913.
The work of sculptor Edvard Eriksen, it has become one of the country's biggest tourist attractions and an unofficial national symbol.
According to her unofficial website, the mermaid sits on a boulder looking down into the sea, "dreaming about leaving the big sea to find her Prince and an immortal soul".
Or maybe a return to Mars?

Its the shadow on the corner of a rock that's close to the camera. You can't see the top of the rock because its the same texture and colour as the rest of the damn planet. Look closely at the picture. Its the corner of that rock that is knocked off and facing away from the sun. Making that one spot really dark.

That is an ignorant statement. The 'us vs. them' mentality is never beneficial.
There are plenty of SHROOMERITES that enjoy both forums, and there are plenty of M&P posters that have the critical thinking skills to differentiate between nonsense like this and authentic anomalies.
Some of us enjoy expressing our mystic and discussing more unexplainable phenomena without the usual hecklers.
I understand you may disagree with the M&P spirit, but that's no reason to constantly insult the forum.

Hey man, there's a Scrying Enochian Aethyrs thread going on in M&P right now. That's weirder even than Denmark was colonized by aliens. 
Besides, insults are in the ear of the beholder.

Fair enough.
I'm just annoyed that this ridiculous subject is being given so much attention around the web and far more interesting anomalies are never discussed.
I wonder why that is...

My guess is because it's a NEW wacky idea. In a while, normal people will forget about it when the novelty wears off.
But if history is any indication, the conspiracy nut jobs will keep harping on it like they still do about the Face on Mars that was long ago debunked and nut jobs call a cover up. Just like Big Foot, UFOs, and all the rest.
And forgive the observation, but the Lady on Mars will probably resurface as a NASA conspiracy thread in M&P in a few months right along with the UFO cover ups and fake Apollo moon landings.

It must be comforting to be so sure of the 'facts' and just call those who aren't 'nut jobs'.

I agree, it sounds like child mentality.
In all honesty I just don't see how a group of people could make a crop circle as large and as geometrically complex and accurate as some of the ones that have appeared.



^^ This one here covers a total area of 636,172 square feet and has 400 perfect circles. It was created overnight in 300 minutes. I just don't understand how humans could create something so complex, accurate and massive in such a short amount of time. It just doesn't make any sense.

I don't understand how people can continue to believe crop circles are super-human when the guys who first started the hoax have demonstrated the construction of complex crop circles on camera using nothing but some rope to measure distances accurately and pieces of 2x4 to press down the plants.
And they did it at night, with no lights, and completed the work in a few hours.
You guys are so funny. And you think I'm out of line for pointing out this silliness when it's posted in M&P.

That someone can't imagine humans capable of making large, complex crop circles, speaks to that person's inability to imagine more than to the extraterrestrial origin of crop circles.
