Images beamed back to Earth earlier this year by theMars Global Surveyor are radically different from those taken when the mysterious monument was first discovered in 1976 and even from high-resolution photos taken just two years ago.

"I would stake my reputation as a plastic surgeon on the statement that work has recently been done on the face -- and by very skilled hands. |

- Carpet salesman Martin Janowski, 53, was able to forget about carpeting for just a little while Monday after consuming a fifth of Jim Beam Kentucky bourbon. "For a few glorious moments, I cleared my mind of Anso II Stainmaster Plus and Bigelow Dura-Plush carpeting," said Janowski, a 26-year employee of CarpetMart in Houston. "The bourbon made the floor coverings go away." To help him forget about carpeting tomorrow night, Janowski said he will likely employ Southern Comfort, Wild Turkey, or some combination thereof.
