"Open the pod bay doors, please, HAL."

[SSgt Burton]

No. "do".

So I my mind wasn't going?

Correct. It's an older way of saying "Do give me your answer."

Hey right on.

When looking up whether Paul was right on that point, I came across the factoid that the first singing computer was an IBM job in 1961 singing "Daisy Bell" and HAL's disconnection scene was a shout-out to that. So that was rad.

So I did get it wrong? :confused

Song sheet from 53 says "due" as in her answer is DUE like a rented dvd.

It's all IMDB's fault!

Then the song sheet from 53 is wrong. The song dates from 1892.

So yeah, uhh, was I right? :wacko

You are my hero. :thumbsup

Mine to!

I mean tue!


:angel


("too")

I found out about that Factoid last week from the help of one of our facebook members....Each week the rpf fb page post a trivia question on tuesdays..Well, our first trivia question was 2001 related on which Song Hal sang.....

Well, one of our members posted the recording of the ibm computer.......
YouTube - ‪First computer to sing - Daisy Bell‬‏

It makes me appreciate the scene a whole lot more.....I love this film....and i soo wish i could get my hands on one of those helmets!

"And what do you want for Christmas sweetie?"
"A TELEPHONE!"
"We already have a telephone."

"All right, take care, and you be a good girl, won't you?"
"All right, bye-bye!"
"No, wait, I'm not--"
*click*
Thank you for using Bell Telephone

What I mean is:

Beetle, Beetle, here is some news for you,
This song dates back to eighteen ninety-two.
So if your sheet music's crappy,
Don't be the least unhappy,
For I'll be here
To bend your ear
If the "do" should become a "due"!
