I used to work for a company that was tasked with designing a means of communicating the hazards of Yucca Mountain (back when it was an option for burial of nuclear waste).

The trouble was it had to be designed so people could still understand it 20,000(?) years from now.

At the rate most people are getting dumber, that would have been an impossible task.

Well the dimensions are not ratios of the first 3 primes by the looks of it. Nope, not made by intelligent alien life or Stanley Kubrick.

That’s the winding stick. We need to find the handle that goes on that in case earth winds down.

There were so many great episodes.

Damn shame what has happened to television and damn near everything else regarding our culture over the past 35-40 years.

My protractor says it’s plumb with the general trend of the ground.

They are starting to show Space Odyssey 2001 on TV.

It will appear as a tax write off on someones advertising budget.

Whoa. .... Mystery solved. It was placed there by the Monolith Creators of Carhenge Nebraska.

Here I offer Exhibit A as proof ---
