Florentine_Pogen Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 5 hours ago, ICTChris said: In Utah, a helicopter full of of sheep surveyors have found an unexplained metal monolith embedded in a rock. The intrepid band were counting sheep in Red Rock County when they saw something curious. Upon further investigation they found a 12 foot high metal pillar, riveted into the rock. There seem to be no markings or explanations on the object. The coming of this obelisk was hinted at on Monday's University Challenge when Paxo asked the question "The French word for 'high' is an anagram of which US state ?' Obviously, Jeremy Paxman is the Man Who Fell To Earth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorlomin Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 You think someone woke up yesterday in somewhere random like Kilmarnock to a note from Hermes along the lines of off "Your parcel: 12 foot monolith Has been delivered too: Neighbour ☒ Safe Place: ☐ Returned to depot: ☐ At address: Utah" 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 That's not a monolith. Monoliths are made out of stone. That is made out of metal, which is not stone. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the odds that this is a marker sent by aliens? Would P&Bers like to join me in welcoming our monolith overlords? Unexplained static solid monolith? I believe the US scientists have termed it a "McBurnie" Edited November 25, 2020 by Ian38018 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
