'Mysterious Mars rock . . . defies explanation'

Post by Doum » Wed Jan 22, 2014 6:06 pm

A mystery rock on Mars that suddenly appeared in front of NASA's Opportunity rover may look like a tasty doughnut, but it is like nothing ever seen on the Martian surface before.

<<A laugh track is a separate soundtrack for a recorded comedy show containing the sound of audience laughter. In the U.S., the term usually implies artificial laughter (canned laughter or fake laughter) made to be inserted into the show. Recording pioneer Jack Mullin explained how the laugh track was invented on Bing Crosby's radio show: "The hillbilly comic Bob Burns was on the show one time, and threw a few of his then-extremely racy and off-color folksy farm stories into the show. We recorded it live, and they all got enormous laughs, which just went on and on, but we couldn't use the jokes. Scriptwriter Bill Morrow asked us to save the laughs. A couple of weeks later he had a show that wasn't very funny, and he insisted that we put in the salvaged laughs. Thus the laugh-track was born.">>

Considering that I face east when sitting at my PC, and that those wee beasties are on the right hand side of the window, they would be considered to be southerly genteelmen :wink:
