June 2, 2008 - NASA officials are reporting that the famous WCG genome scientists, missing from the forums since last year, may be on Mars. After a review of hundreds of photographs sent back by the Phoenix Mars lander, some of the pictures seem to show large groups of random alphabetical letters written on the ice.

At first it was believed to be an ancient Martian eye-exam chart. However, other objects in the photos look very much like Brazilian coffee cups and old chocolate-bar wrappers. NASA officials stated that the chances of any coffee or cacao beans actually growing on Mars are "smaller than a genome."

The discovery is consistent with witness reports of mysterious flying objects seen late last year above the scientists' laboratories. "We are not ruling out anything at this point," said the officials.
