Rude Space Pics, Vol. 42
If it isn't the Keyhole Nebula getting mislabelled the Finger of God, 
Not sure if this is NSFW or just peurile penis humour...
but Spirit's tracks are making a giant wang on Mars
Spirit's 'Legacy' panorama. It combines many frames acquired during Spirit's 59th through 61st martian days, or sols (March 3 to 5, 2004) from a position about halfway between the landing site and the rim of 'Bonneville Crater,' Nasa says. The panorama spans 360 degrees and consists of images obtained in 78 individual pointings.
Apparently the Engineers have been chuckling about this one for some time, but its only when they added it to a MER Mission Home Page (under Surface Navigation sub-heading) that it got noticed on Reddit and subsequent DDOS crashed NASA servers... NASA changed the graphic out on that Mission Page, but the gag is still making news worldwide. 
All those who believe in telekinesis, raise my hand.
