What does "life-on-Mars behaviour" mean? esp. "life-on-Mars". Thank you very much.
(context: On the one hand, the example of the deputy headmaster found dead with five children in his arms, as if protecting them. On the other,[b] the life-on-Mars behaviour [/b]of the Coal Board, which demanded �150,000 out of the �160,000 relief fund in order to move the slag heaps.) |

It is behaviour that is very different from behaviour on earth. In other words, it is behaviour that is very strange, unfathomable, weird, etc. |
