It was always going to be just a matter of time before the visitors from Earth started behaving like hoons.

What the hell is a "hoon"? I'm gonna assume that's a typo and they meant "hoods". Anyway, cool, far out and all that stuff man! ;)

When asked whether they thought the mars mission was a success the scientists replied 'Fo shizzle ma nizzle!.'
