Perhaps a misplaced piece of that wall that Mexico is paying for?

I have a question...


How did a helicopter crew counting sheep stay awake?

I don’t think the riffraffs in their grungy black leather space suits and on their low rider custom flying saucers care.

Well, if they were Kiwis they'd probably be choosing sheep for a dirty weekend...

As a Kubrick nut, I have to say, this is a shitty representation of the monolith. From what I can see of the Utah monolith,
Its proportions are wrong (Clarke specified a proportion of 1:4:9, with the more manageable sized monoliths [read: the ones in the original 2001] being 11 feet in length) and it’s not supposed to be reflective like this is, but black.

Safe bet - it was put there by somebody with a few extra bucks to spend - a sense of humor - and not just a little "fuck you" attitude.


And further bet - it won't be the only one found.


Remember you heard it here first....

And hopefully, at least one will be accurate to Kubrick’s vision, though it probably won’t, especially since, upon further inspection, it’s got three faces arranged in a triangular way. Shit, it’s probably not even a monolith!
