(...) I actually don't know. Does it? I've never read the books (I found that quote while looking for any page that actually listed true dimensions), and I don't believe I ever watched 2001.

(...) 1 4 9 ?? where have I heard that before?... I had no idea it was 1 4 9 ! OK, seriously. What I'm driving at is that if you want to do it in bricks and do it the easy way, studs up, the dimensions I gave for bricks of 2x8x15 high convert to 40 (...) (23 years ago, 24-Jan-04, to lugnet.build)
