The Mars Rover lost communications with NASA for awhile recently;

The big question is why did the otherwise perfect rover suddenly go AWOL and then respond to orders only with garbled messages? Here are ten working hypotheses:

1. Spirit is a teenager.

2. It went looking for “Opportunity.”

3. It’s a candidate in the Democratic primaries.

4. It hates communicating long distance with those automated message menus.

5. It ran off for a quickie wedding and annulment.

6. It’s a free Spirit.

7. It heard about the water at the South Pole and went for some Jim Beam and ice.

8. It was holding out on contract negotiations.

9. It went software in the head.

10. It was roving. Duh!

....or some martian teenager ran home holding a component, all 4 arms up in the air yelling ''Hey ma!!! Look what i found!!!
