    That’s literally just an XLR3 plug. It’s used for analog audio and DMX lighting controls.

    Don’t know why you’d put it in a rock though.

      Well duh, it’s because we used the alien technology for ourselves in our most important projects.

      XLR3 stands for Planet X (the place the aliens came from) Long Range (because it’s far away, duh) and 3 is because it took three tries to plug the rock in correctly.

      Haha yeah, I sell these at work and recognised it immediately! It’s literally just the inner part you solder the wires onto, without the outer casing.

      I tried to find a photo, but I struggled:

      It’s a good way to get attention. It’s working right now. It may have also been useful for increasing his bank account with the money of morons.
