Correct spelling of "martian" is actually "marsian"

This block of ice is actually an alien from Mars. He's telling us, "You earthlings keep insisting that it's spelled martians. It's really marsians. We are from the planet of MARS, not MART." He also wants us to know that Marsians are actually ice creatures, and not flesh creatures, because in his words, "We are actually ice, cuz Mars is like, freakin cold, man. But you are right about the green thing."

Next time you see a block of green ice, make sure you say hi, and welcome him to our planet.

so what about Slushies at 7-Eleven? Are the green Slushies really Marsians?

Interestingly, if liquid water existed on Mars, it would evaporate and freeze at the same time.

Hence the existence of Marsians being an ice-based form on Mars. And hence why when it snows on planet Earth, they are actually aliens.

This just in from Mars, "Us Marsians don't care for that english law where you change the c and the s to a t. We have formed our own Marsian dialect, and we don't follow that rule. The end."
