Bringing this back to a LEGO oriented discussion...  My sincerest
apologies if it's still a bit nerd-oriented.

Doing some quick math in my head here, it appears to me that the
smallest Monolith that you can make with LEGO that has the same physical
proportions as the Monolith would be 7 studs wide, 28 studs across, and
54 brick-heights high (not including the height of the studs themselves
that would stick out the top).  WOW! At minifig scale, that's  pretty
darn tall!  Even if I were to make it mostly hollow, I wouldn't have
enough LEGO in total (let alone black pieces or even any other single
color) to try this.

Has anyone else ever done one of these in LEGO?

Has anyone else ever done one of these that was smooth on all *SIX* sides?
