This just in from Reuters:
They have been left on doorsteps and outside post offices in the dead of night, but no one knows what to make of the mystery of the stone heads.
As many as 20 artfully carved faces, miniature versions of the Easter Island sculptures, have been deposited in sleepy villages across northern England in recent weeks, leaving the recipients intrigued and confused.
Each of the stone heads, some measuring up to 45cm high, is slightly different, but all of them have the same riddle attached, written on a thin blue card.
“Twinkle twinkle like a star, does love blaze less from afar?” it reads, with the word paradox written around the points of a star.
While a publicity stunt of some sort is suspected, not unlike the crop circle mysteries that obsessed Britain a decade ago, there are no clues as to who may be leaving the heads.Police, residents and recipients are all non-plussed.
