Funny, but I couldn't help but think of that gag animation that came out right when Spirit originally landed. You've probably seen it. The RAT comes out of the rover and starts to spin. As soon at it touches the rock, the RAT locks up and the rover spins like crazy.
My favorite was the soft drink commercial that had an operator in the mission control room late at night dozing off and suddenly waking up to the sounds of a car alarm and looking at his console only to see one of the rovers up on blocks and all the wheels stolen. It's nice when NASA is the subject of such good natured humor. Patrick
