Seafood restaurant Long John Silver's has made a whopper of a promise to Americans if NASA discovers an ocean on Mars.
The restaurant chain has announced that if NASA discovers evidence of ocean water on Mars -- which is defined as one contiguous body of water covering a minimum of three percent of the surface of Mars, or 5 million square kilometers, whichever is greater -- on or before Feb. 29, the restaurant will provide one free giant shrimp to each American.
One shrimp doesn't sound like much, but a company insider says a giant shrimp is half a foot long.
Company big-wigs are expecting they'll have to make good on the offer because so many scientists around the world are convinced an ocean exists on the red planet.
If the ocean is discovered, Long John Silver's has selected March 15 as the day folks can collect their free shrimp.
