[Bob Munck]

4. Has anyone checked ...

... Jupiter?

[wcmagumba]

5. Damn, now we have to send a ship to Jupiter, remember to leave Europa alone....

[TeamPooka]

11. all the other worlds belong to us.

[Sogo]

6. Maybe the person who put it there removed it.

[ornotna]

8. No way

That's entirely too plausible and sane an answer.

[Thomas Hurt]

18. the other entirely plausible and sane answer is someone recognized where it was and stole it...

Could be part of some dude's man cave by now...lol.

but yeah flip a coin on this one.

[ornotna]

20. That is certainly a possibility n/t

[edhopper]

7. Probably buried on the moon now

Near Tycho.

9. how could someone steal it? that thing is huge. you can't just toss it in a pickup truck

you need some serious mobilization of manpower and equipment to move that thing.

[ret5hd]

10. Well...I dunno...

[Renew Deal]

19. That's why I only take the wooden ones.

They make great toothpicks.

[Brother Buzz]

13. All you'd need would be a cordless screwdriver to disassemble it into....

manageable pieces....the same was it was installed

[marble falls]

12. Has anybody talked to this guy ...

René Emile Belloq???

32. Enjoyed the video. Maybe the folks that put it there moved it?

[panader0]

15. Gram Parsons took it. It'll never be found.

[Hoyt]

24. +1. Technically, Phil Kaufmann -- his roadie and friend -- did it.

[MyNameGoesHere]

16. It was Dave

[ret5hd]

17. Dave's not home, man.

[lastlib]

22. He will be as soon as he can get the garage door to open......

...and pulls a few plugs...........

[yonder]

21. It's location was inadvertantly discovered so

the owner dismantled it, packed it up and will set it in some other out-of-the-way place until discovered again.

[Dem4Life1102]

23. Maybe it was beamed up to the mothership

[Sinistrous]

25. Don't worry. It will reappear.

... Somewhere ...

26. Better keep our eyes on Jupiter...

the last time an obelisk disappeared...

[roamer65]

27. Probably was some secret Mormon thing.

Like their magic underwear.

28. I'm falling victim to the fantasy-over-truth mindset running rampant across the world.

I've got a fairly dull guess about what happened to the monolith. But it's much more fun to believe it showed up out of nowhere, people got excited, then somebody threw a bone in the air and now, we're on a spaceship.

29. What strain of marijuana are you smoking? It sounds wonderful.

[blogslut]

30. I don't like to make lists or do top-tens

However, the opening scene of 2001:A Space Odyssey is the greatest in all film history. That is my final verdict.


(until I change my mind)

33. Those sneaky aliens took off with it, filled with all of Rudy's evidence.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

34. It was taken back up to to heaven by the Angel Moroni,

and has been placed next to the Golden Plates, from which Joseph Smith transcribed The Book of Mormon

Or not.

I suspect someone didn't care for the hordes of people hunting for the the obelisk, and trashing the remote and very fragile desert environment. So s/he removed the obelisk in order to protect the fragile desert area surrounding the obelisk from being destroyed.

That's exactly what I would do if it had been in my vicinity.

35. We just can't have nice things!

I'm sure the mystic (or is it mystical?) Q will have a theory soon.
