I have to say, it's one of the most amazing/unusal ***holes I've seen and
maybe in need of some moisturiser.

Is that the A*** end of Mars?
Maybe it's on the opposite side of Mars to "The Face".:P

Probably why there's no life on Mars. Nobody wants to live in a s**thole. :question:

soooo many funny comments, but hey, do you think that NASA named that crater .... tho I have trouble seeing a crater, just a crack ..... , did they name it because of how it looks??? Do they have a sense of humour?? Hmm, Ric reckons they do.

If it was named by a scientist it's hardly surprising if there is an element of humour behind it. Scientists are renowned for their cerebral sense of humour.
