(Click image to enlarge. Via.)
Behold this righteous sand pit found on the surface of Mars. It leads to a cavern beneath the surface where undoubtedly Martians are planning their fatal assault on Mars-2, or what we call Earth. They terraformed it, they released us onto it, and now they’re coming home. Uh, right? Moving on.
Wondering how such a thing came to be?

However, even scientist-wunderminds were wrong in their estimation of the Moon’s age for a long time. The pig is 200 million years younger than previously thought.

Video: DC Releases ‘New 52’ Commercial. This Won’t Work.

Putting aside any sort of snark, I cannot fathom this DC commercial for their ‘New 52’ persuading anyone who doesn’t read comic books to come check out their reboot-refresh-tabula-close-t0-rasa bullshit. I really can’t. It’s a cheese vomit concoction.
Hit the jump to check out the video.
And probably shake your head.
