HAL 9000 for sale on eBay
Nah, it's not going to talk to you in that perfectly calm voice or beat you in chess (or try to kill you, either for that matter), but somebody is auctioning off the Cinerama 160 degree Fairchild-Curtis lens that served as both HAL
9000's eye in 2001: A Space Odyssey and the camera lens from which they filmed everything from the artificially intelligent computer's point of view. Even comes with no fewer than four letters of authenticity, a bunch of movie memorabilia, and a video about how Stanley Kubrick created and used HAL 9000 in the film. Bidding starts at
$150,000, but is there really any way to put a price on what we all know would be the ultimate case mod?
