2. The big-eared cyclops is transmitting again

Few people know this, but there's a building on Central Park West you can climb to the top. I know that, because once I saw a strange fellow, wearing a checked jacket, a jockey cap and a pince nez ,climbing it. And there, on a ledge, that fellow installed a bizarre-loking apparatus. A squared wooden box like an old radio with an obsidian-coloured sphere, the size of a football, on its top, and two half cones on its side, resembling two ears. Don't ask me how I know this, you'll only believe my lies, anyway.

Even though this apparatus had been de-activated since 1953, it still functioned and could be remotely set in motion. The technical details elude me, but it's meant to hear and see, I'm sure. The chunky big-eared cyclops was turned on on a late afternoon in December 2001. Everyone at Hell's Lair could now receive its cryptic broadcast. Actually, everyone on the street in Manhattan can hear it. If only they could understand it - if only I could understand what its rumbling noises say.
