Can I post something from the Weekly World News? I understand there's a good story about the Bat Boy.
This one is pretty cool:

If it all goes right, we'll have a helicopter on Mars that we can use to take aerial video for the first time on another planet!
Wow, this is just mind-boggling! Maybe all those people interested in cryology can be saved??
