20 feet tall? Must be on Titan. Although as Arthur Clarke pointed out, Iapetus could be a source of humor. In Greek, the I and J may be interchangeable, resulting in the name being “Japetus”, and as we all know, a jape is a joke, sometimes a practical joke. So if this is set on Japetus, it’s a practical joke on all of us, and they aren’t really on a moon of Saturn….. or are they?

Doctor: I have bad news and worse news. The bad news is you have 24 hours to live. The worse news is – I was supposed to tell you that yesterday.
