"It was a rock, of course, and it had grown during the night. He knew of
small round plants that grew during the night and looked a little like
rocks. These tasted good, so Moon-Watcher put out his tongue and tasted
the new rock. A few seconds were enough to make him understand that this
thing was not food. So he continued on his way to the river and soon
forgot all about it."
2001: Odissea nello spazio (2001: A Space Odyssey) è un famosissimo film di fantascienza di Stanley Kubrick del 1968, basato su un soggetto di Arthur Clark.
L'estratto qua citato è all'inizio del film, nell'Africa di quattro milioni di anni fa, quando uno dei primati scambia erroneamente una roccia per una pianta.
