Monolith Reappears In Middle Of Lake

Orion2o6 writes: "According to an article on the King 5 (NBC Affiliate based in Seattle) Web site, the Monolith reminiscent of '2001: A Space Odyssey' that had originally showed up in a Seattle-area park on New Years Day was spotted in the center island of a small lake in the city of Seattle. The TV station had received an e-mail early on Thursday morning which clued them in to this location. The monolith is now in violation of the bird sanctuary that exists there."

    Ok, so the monolith violates the bird sanctuary... No big deal, I'm sure that the birds have violated the monolith by now anyway.

    Shit, the last thing we want is for the birds to peck the thing or land on it. Hasn't anyone see Hitchcock's movies?! The last thing we need is a pack of IQ-enhanced birds flying about raising havoc!

    "All these lakes are yours, except the one with the bird sancutary. Attempt no landings here."

    (Or, maybe the monolith has chosen chickens as the next enlightened species... :)
