Not quite true either.

In Clarke's original conception (as expressed in his novelization), the
spaceship Discovery had giant radiating fins attached along the long
boom, to dissipate the enormous heat from the fission engines.

But Kubrick decided that this would make the ship look like some giant
insect, and so the wings came off, leaving just the long boom.

<<I try. >>

..and we appreciate it. Smooch!!! (But only in a smart-ass kinda
way!) :-)

<<Hey there Christopher Robin, he might appreciate it if you
called him Tegger (as derived from "Integra") instead of Tigger (as
found in Winnie-the-Pooh) >>

Heh-heh! No offense intended. Me and a buddy bastardize every name,
title, phrase, euphemism, etc possible as it comes to our minds. It's
just a "thing". Nothin' personal except that it's fun...for me
anyway!! :-) Tigger, Beamer, and Nasty. AKA: TEGGER, JIM BEAM, and
ELMO SHAGNASTY. A little levity mixed with proper 'thanks' and
respect can't hurt, right? Besides, (laughing to self!!!!!!), Tigger
has heard much worse! :^) BUT THE REAL QUESTION IS: What's the
most wonderful thing about Tiggers???? Look it up..

Sub-thread done! Now, back on topic, people. :-)

As for "AL", I guess you gotta be Alfred or Albert or Alfonso...just
in case the opportunity shows itself in the future. I'll let ya
pick! All in fun. :-) Happy Honda-ing everyone!
