                    Does martians practice typography in ancient times ? That's what suggests the strange picture inside this interesting article about Curiosity recent findings. ;-)

            Thanks ! That was the right thing to do. I searched how to change it by myself after Ramiro's comment but I didn't find how to do.
And I must add that I have the deepest respect to punch cutters and all other craftsmen. I hope none of them were hurted by my post.

            Shame on those who used the Abuse flag here.1

            I have carefully analyzed these markings and translated them from ancient Martian. It appears that they say "All of your bases are belong to us".4

            @André G. Isaak Interesting ! Could you reveal your sources ?

            I’m afraid my sources are highly classified, but it appears to be a direct translation from the Nazca lines into Martian.0

            Do you mean that Nazca lines are prints ?

            No, the Nazca lines are officially called geoglyphs. I think a group of them is what is known as a "geofont". You need a pretty large printer for these fonts.2

            @Theunis de Jong Of course you are right. And this is the explanation why people stopped to use this printer a long time ago there : every time it caused earthquakes in this very unstable region.
