Since nobody's gonna post a single damn thing I'll continue, ha. Curiosity still kills kitties and runs in circles. Still live and kickin'.
Virgin spatula
Curiosity took this photo of its soil scoop on September 27. Looks clean and shiny as a new spatula.
The Chemistry and Camera instrument on NASA's Mars rover Curiosity used its laser and spectrometers to examine what chemical elements are in a drift of Martian sand during the mission's 74th Martian day, or sol (Oct. 20, 2012).
A windblown sand ripple at the Rocknest site. Curiosity used its wheel to crunch into the sand just to the right of the larger foreground rock which is about 5 inches wide.

Nasa's Curiosity rover tries its soil scooping system for the first time on the red planet. It used its wheels to break the surface on Gale Crater and used its scooping mechanism to pick up a tiny chunk of Mars. After using the first few scoops to self-clean its systems, rover will deposit new samples into its laboratory, which will be able to determine the chemical make-up of the soil

Yeah baby, rip Mars a new one.
