After I died, I was sent
to a way station on Mars
to pick up a new body.
***
But absentminded me,
when I got back to
earth I noticed that I
had left it behind.
***
So back I went to Mars
to retrieve the body
***
When I located it,
it was in pretty rough
shape. In my absence,
it had been found &
partially eaten by a
pack of Inbetweeners.
***
And that is how I got
all these bite marks.
***
Anyway, it definitely wasn’t Rex.
t r e f o l o g y 
The Betweenies should have finished their meal. Waste not- want not. :)

So, the Mars Bod Exchange still gives bite marks, even after Pluto strayed. On Earth today, a Bod with Bite Marks from Mars Bod must be worth its weight in Bitcoins.

What happens on Mars, stays on Mars, because before you leave they totally scrub your memory. Thanks, N!

How was Mars looking?

A lot can change in 50 plus years, but when I left, Mars was totally covered in flowers and trees; the critters were closer to the folks, and the folks were closer to the critters, and if you’ll excuse me for saying so, ’twas better all around. Why do you ask? How does it look now? And thanks, R

In a manner of speaking, yes, but only if you believe your body is “you”. Nevertheless, it was a frightful thing to witness. Thanks, Snake!

Haha well the food was me, in this particular case, but as for Mars, they serve pre-packaged food produced in Venus. Not that great. Thanks, T!
