    Little Green Men 'upgrade' Opportunity!

    Seems like Mars rover 'Opportunity' stopped at the lights for too long and someone cleaned its panels

            SOmetime people will write "Wash Me" on dirty cars in the dirt/dust as a joke. That is what is depicted on the rover.

                I somehow didn't see the "wash me" so I didn't get it at first either. I get it now.

                    Ditto - didn't actually see the writing first time. I think I was looking at the panel layout for some significance.

                      Yeah, took me a minute or two, too

                      Guess we're just too technical.

                        I didn't notice at first either, but knowing it had to be something, I started looking at details...
