This Yahoo! News story ("How Mars and Alaska Are Alike") is kind of interesting, but it leaves out any number of details of how Mars and Alaska are alike. For instance all of these statements could be stated about either Mars or Alaska:
I'm not located there at present.Despite any popular book titles, I'm not from either one (I'm, of course, referring to the ever popular "Men are from Alaska, Women are from Saskatchewan." Groundbreaking stuff.).
It does not have an inherently large elephant population.
Chocolate can be imported there.
Unprotected sex there is *not* advised.
The phone was not invented there.
When it gets dark there it's difficult to see.
Barbara Walters throws up violently when she thinks about what she did there in the 1960s.
I could go on and on and on.
