I am not here - I'm doing my work I'm doing my work I'm doing my work....

All the same... I've got the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day set as a homepage in one browser, and when I saw the top part of this picture my first thought was Wow - how did they get a cup of tea to the surface of Mars?

See - apparently I really shouldn't be here...

Although my next thought was Oh... *sighs*... Suitable Gravity! *g*

*runs off to do 3/4 big jobs for today...*

"how did they get a cup of tea to the surface of Mars?" gosh, yes!

You've been working too hard... '*g*

Oddly enough, even though it all kicks off tomorrow, today's been much more relaxing thanks to the lack of a certain other job! *g* Though now I just fancy a coffee for coffee's sake... *g*

Tea on Mars? Must be the Brits who've landed! *g* Surely NASA would have taken coffee (or hot water with a few molecules of something dark in it) ::ducks and hides from our USAnian friends who I love really!::

By an amazing coincidence I'm not here either - I'm working, I am I am I am! ::goes back to work::

I feel the sides are too straight and it is therefore a coffee cup and saucer... possibly manufactured by Denby! Hmmm, mind you, a nice piece of strong cheese would be most enjoyable with either tea or coffee. Oh no, they'd have to fly to the moon for that!

I gotta admit - I saw the picture and your explanation and STILL thought, "wha? coffee?" :D

Hee! It's terribly warm-drink-on-Mars, innit... *g* Though now I just want a cup of good coffee... all this talk - gargh!

It took me a while (and some clicking) to understand that it wasn't a cup... but then it's very early still. At least, that's my excuse.

When I scrolled down the pic became clear, but it was a fun few seconds before that! And early definitely counts... *g*
