    Oy, kids today, don't know nothin'... </lame humor>

    "Curse you Red Baron" was the catch phrase of one Snoopy (you've heard of Snoopy, right? From the Peanuts comic?) when he was in "World War I Flying Ace" persona, after being shot down again and again by the Red Baron. Snoopy was, by the way, a beagle.

      Yeah, I remembered snoopy, I just couldn't see the connection to a mars rover or whatever.
