Lines: 8 From: BruceAs I recall (I can't find my copy of 2001), the monolith was originally called TMA-1 for Tycho Magnetic Anomaly One. The funny thing here is that the second monolith was called TMA-2, although (a) it was not in Tycho and (b) it was not magnetic. Of course, it could be my memory that's anomalous instead! (Maybe TMA stood for The Mon Alith?) -------
