The anti-pastry groups are about to endure a rude awakening. Clear evidence of pie has been found on Mars.
Striking images taken by NASA's Mars Cholesterol Surveyor spacecraft suggest the presence of various fruit and non-fruit fillings on the Martian surface, a tantalizing find for scientists wondering if the Red Planet might harbor any good places for dessert.
And Bush's little moon trip might get affected by this as well, considering that Mars HAS PIE.
Kenneth Edgett of Malin Space Science Systems in San Diego, a food scientist involved in the research, said there had been a quest for "smoking gun" evidence for high-calorie snacks currently on Mars.
"Basically, this is the 'oozing chocolate cream gun' for pie on Mars," Edgett told reporters.

"It could be pecan pie, it could be coconut pie, it could be pie carrying all kinds of fruit, it could be mince-meat, but a pastry shell is involved," Edgett said.
Edgett said each apparent flow was caused by an amount equal to "five to 10 Little Debbie trucks."
Michael Meyer, lead scientist for NASA's Culinary Exploration Program, said the observations provided the strongest evidence to date that pie filling still flowed occasionally on the surface of Mars. "The big questions are: how does this happen, and does it point to a well-trained pastry chef?" Meyer said.
I know I know, we all made fun of Bush when he wanted to distract everyone with his Mars idea. But at this point, after Stephen Hawking said "we're doomed if we don't find decent places to dine outside of planet Earth," I think the moon trip should be changed back to a Mars colony, or both missions should happen simultaneously, and immediately after lunch tomorrow.
