Its probably just a natural rock formation, though one can be hopeful that it is not!
Martian lawn gnome?
It looks kinda like that old Patterson Bigfoot video! So thats why no one has found bigfoot, they come from mars! hehe.

Cool pictures. Amazing the types of random shapes nature can produce that don't look random in the right light/angle.
Has anyone seen the picture of the Angel galaxies? It's three galaxies merging together, but looks like a bird or an angel.

Atlantis en route to space station
Space shuttle Atlantis lifts off from pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center, Fla. Thursday Feb. 7, 2008.
