Curiosity, the high tech rover from NASA is apparently bored for being on the planet and out of loneliness it has been doodling on the red planet. One of it's cheeky designs was a poorly represented phallus.

This has become internet-gold after Reddit posted the image under the subreddit r/funny. Curiosity's track patterns, according to the photo, vaguely resemble a phallus. Or is it the human imagination which has been spoiled by the internet that coerces us into seeing one? You decide.

The news became so popular that the traffic NASA's site attracted crashed the site after the word spread like wildfire. The rover seems to be having fun while learning about life on Mars.

Another angle to look at this would be: Are NASA scientists who send two sets of instructions to Curiosity trolling the world by doing extra-curricular activities while on the scout for life forms? Whatever it is the world is having a hearty chuckle. Thanks, NASA.
