Mardi Gras Beads found on Mars . . . or not

Wait, should I put this in science? ... oh, well, here it is:

Krewe of Chewbacchus perpetrates Mars rover hoax, NASA not amused

http://www.nola.com/festivals/index.ssf/2012/12/krewe_of_chewbacchus_perpetrat.html

Just to be absolutely clear: The Mars rover DID NOT discover Mardi Gras beads on Mars, nor a Wookiee temple. Furthermore, there IS NOT a Big Foot monster stalking City Park as the Chewbacchus folks suggested last year. Though actor Peter Mayhew, who played the heroic hairy sidekick Chewbacca in the Star Wars series IS actually expected to appear as grand marshal of this year’s Chewbacchus parade … if you can believe what the Chewbacchus folks say anyway.
