I have long had a notion to try to establish a website called something like www.touchthemonolith.com - referencing the sinister, totemic black gravestone in 2001: A Space Odyssey. (I hope nobody's snagged the domain name already.)
I'm not sure if it should be an entirely black page, or a depiction of the monolith from the film (surrounded by screeching prehistoric primates) - but the idea would be that you click on the black mass somewhere, and are treated to a succinct burst of life-changing, civilization-evolving wisdom.
Something like.....
"Bang the rocks together."
Or.....
"Eat the tapirs."
Or.....
"Marry outside your immediate family."
Or.....
"Use an alphabetic script."
Or.....
"Press 'Control-Alt-Delete'."
Or.....
"Never give a sucker an even break."
I should work on this more seriously. The advertising revenues could be huge.
