When we were watching 2001, Mr. Inloes said that you can't go more than a couple of days without seeing a reference to the movie. Of course I didn't believe him, because of his tendency to be a pathological liar (just kidding mr. inloes).
Anyways, after I watched it I tried to find references to it and I wasn't able to until one day when I was watching tv. A commercial came on the television, it was one that I had seen many times before but this time it clicked in my head that it was a reference to 2001.
The commercial was about this guy who bought his wife a necklace at some jewlery store, and as he tried to go home his GPS system started talking to him. The GPS system wouldn't give him directions until he showed her the necklace in the bag. The specific reference was when the GPS said "I can't do that Dave."
So I guess this proves that Mr. Inloes doesn't pathologically lie, references to 2001: A Space Odyssey are all around us, you just gotta know where to look.
