   I have realized that the way I phrased my original comment could be interpreted as: Rita would hug the monolith if someone was killed. That’s not what I meant to say. I meant that Rita’s reaction to the monolith would be to go and hug it.

   Surprisingly (to me), it was Clarke. According to Time magazine many years later, that is.

   Is it really a monolith? After all, the lith part of monlith means stone. Doubtful that such a device would be made of stone.

   Time to consult the dictionary!

   Monolith: noun

   1) an obelisk, column, large statue, etc., formed of a single block of stone.

   2) a single block or piece of stone of considerable size, especially when used in architecture or sculpture.

   3) something having a uniform, massive, redoubtable, or inflexible quality or character.

   Hmm, scratch 1 and 2. Let’s look up redoubtable

   redoubtable: adjective

   1) that is to be feared; formidable.2) commanding or evoking respect, reverence, or the like.

   Considering the initial and later reactions of the hominids to the monolith (as seen in the movie), they went from 1 to 2 on redoubtable.

   So definition 3 for monolith says it is a monolith!

   Also, I realized that there really isn’t enough space between the parking spaces and the building…

   I guess we can blame it on the monolith distorting space and time …

   Interesting. The ones further away fit in their spaces… more or less. Not sure what I am seeing with the closest one.

   Good catch!

   I don’t know guys… in the movie one of the first ones to touch it then used a bone to kill another one. But what would Rita do? I’m guessing she would go hug it.

   We can probably forgive Delray for being somewhat ignorant about Thanksgiving Dinners with the family. Remember that he and his mom were living in/at a dumpster when we first met them. Doesn’t seem to point to strong family connections — or even family Thanksgiving dinners — excepting of course, the ones at the Salvation Army.

    Yes, I had wondered why he killed himself, until I found out about the LBD. Then I understood. What is truly sad is that he could not get assisted suicide here and killed himself by hanging. An ugly death for a good person.
