Mysterious 2001-like monolith discovered in Utah

26 December; San Francisco hilltop; gingerbread monolith spotted; collapsed the next day.

This journalist is too tired for follow-up reporting. :laughing:

Someone left the cake out in the rain, I guess.

Though it would be over 300 miles north of where I’d expect that to be going on.

And, after a monolith-free January, another metal-and-therefore-not-a-monolith appears

I think The Who had the right idea.

A monolith at Gobleki Tepi? Unimaginable!

Monoliths just have to be monolithic. Not stone, like a stone. Like a tidal wave.

Although in all honesty, that thing doesn’t look very monolithic to me.

I’m old school. Mono = one. Lith = stone. :grin:

I think all of these “monoliths” so far have been constructed from multiple pieces of sheet metal, so they are neither mono nor lith. If a solid metal one turned up, that would be interesting. The logistics of secretly moving and erecting a multi-ton metal pillar are a lot more difficult than one that several people can carry around by hand, or maybe even assemble on-site.

Until one hears Also sprach Zarathustra while touching a large solid block with 1:4:9 proportions, they’re all fakes.

The Dawn of Goofing Off

Personally, I prefer Mel Brooks’ version. (Spoilered, NSFW.)

Notalith?

No, Naryalith.
