Yes, the neck bit looks oddly stretched.

There was a sci-fi book some years ago (can't remember the title or author) - think it was called 'Rendevous with Ra'. The alien space craft was described rather like this asteroid. Do, do.........:eek:

Aye, Rendezvous With Rama by Arthur C Clarke.
Not a bad read,from what I remember.
