The Toynbee Tiles |
|
Mysterious tiles have been turning up all over the U.S.
They are size of license plates, embedded in the street and all say the
same thing: "Toynbee idea in Kubrick's 2001, Resurrect dead on planet
Jupiter."
Doug Worgul writes in the Kansas City Star that he
first spotted one in his home town in 1996 (and it's still there today).
He did some internet research and found that there have been more than
130 of these "Toynbee tiles" seen in at least 20 cities around the
United States (and two in South America). In New York, around 50 tiles
have been found, and in Philadelphia, nearly 30. Twenty have been
spotted in Baltimore, 16 in Washington, D.C.
They all look the
same and say the same thing, except some are made with colored letters
and others with black letters. They first started turning up in the late
80s. No one has ever seen one of them being embedded in the street, and
no one has claimed responsibility for them.
