Ah Seth, you have restored my faith in humanity indeed ! Actually y'all, if you are a Funkateer, you can very easily sum up 2001 in eight words... "Free your mind, and your ass will follow." ------------------ M. Hyde

Unfortuneately Al, I cannot lay claim to the observation about Moonwatcher discovering the moon, and I'm too lazy to go back and find just whose obsevarion it was. However I think it is a very valid point. My question is did he notice the moon after the appearance of the monolith? It's my...
