haha yeah, glad I'm not the only one who thinks of Doom =P
As for the "pimple" they are considering it as a possible landing site of future missions, at the very least I would love for them to do a few fly-bys with telescopic lens and get some clean shots of the thing...it isn't impossible for nature to produce stuff like that but it would be nice to know how it got there natural or not:
Stalagmites (~24-30ft)
Devil's Tower (1,267ft)
We don't really have anything that I know of that matches it in shape/size/composition so the process could be something new unknown.
