While New Mexico may be busy creating the hottest substance on earth, I feel that we here in Oregon need to give props to the mad scientists amongst us.
A new study of a meteorite that originated from Mars has revealed a series of microscopic tunnels that are similar in size, shape and distribution to tracks left on Earth rocks by feeding bacteria.

And though researchers were unable to extract DNA from the Martian rocks, the finding nonetheless adds intrigue to the search for life beyond Earth.
A picture; I cannot find the article on the Oregon State page.
