   They didn't actually find any living creatures inside the rock, just 
little odd-shaped formations that may have been caused by microbial life. Of 
course, once they started to consider the possibility of a mistake, somebody 
remembered
a geological process that would give the same formations.

   Don't you think that's the first thing they checked?

   No. It's definitely a Mars rock (but don't ask me how they know).
