pompous windbag writes "The Cinerama 160 degree lens used to both play and film the viewpoint of the famous paranoid processor. He's now up for sale on eBay, for the starting bid of just $150,000(USD). This looks like the real deal, complete with letters of authenticity and some extra goodies like "...an original '2001' movie program, a copy of the original script, two issues of American Cinematographer Magazines on the production of '2001' published in 1968, and the movie '2010' published in 1985. Also included is videotape showing how HAL 9000 originated and was used by Stanley Kubrick.' "

I hate to say it, but just because this guy has some distasteful crap in his journal, does not mean that his current comment isn't funny.
Just like how the Prez used to be a cock-sniffer. It doesn't mean he can't do his job now.

Sorry, that should have been 'cock-smoker'.
