   John's not entirely correct. There are meteorites that have fallen to   
   earth that seem to have been kicked off Mars. While they were falling   
   through the earth's atmosphere that would have gotten hot enough to make   
   sure that they were neither stinky or deadly.   
      
   Samples have been examined by the Mars rovers, but not in any great detail.
