2020: Another Oddity.

Wildlife officials in Utah were in a remote area counting sheep from a helicopter when they discovered a shiny metal monolith that looks straight out of a Stanley Kubrick film.

It is estimated to be about 10 to 12 feet high, and its glistening surface is in sharp contrast to the large red rocks that surround it.

Wednesday’s discovery appears to have been firmly planted in the soil, and not dropped from above.

On Instagram, Utah’s highway patrol shared a picture of the bizarre finding with a caption reading: “Counting big horn sheep with DWR this week. During the counts we came across this, in the middle of nowhere, buried deep in the rock. Inquiring minds want to know, what the heck is it?

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).

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.

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.

Here I offer Exhibit A as proof ---
