Subject: Carvings riddle stumps villagers
Written By: Philip Eno on 10/02/07 at 1:53 am
Puzzled residents across Yorkshire are turning detective after mysterious stone heads were left outside their properties in the dead of night.
The sculptures feature the same carved symbol and come with a riddle attached.
Despite CCTV film showing a man leaving three heads outside a post office, their origin remains unknown.
So far, 12 have appeared in Goathland and Kilburn, North Yorkshire; four in Arthington, West Yorkshire and three in Braithwell in South Yorkshire.
Each of the heads, which are up to a foot tall, looks different but all feature the same carving - which appears to spell out the word "paradox" - and a note bearing the riddle: "Twinkle twinkle like a star does love blaze less from afar?"
The villages they have been found in are up to 50 miles from each other.
Mike and Valerie Hoyes, who run a post office in Braithwell, found three heads outside their business on the morning of 23 August.
Full report here.

The riddle sounds like it might be connected to that movie "Stardust". Wasn't it already released in the UK though? And why the heads if that's what it is for?
Puzzling. ???

After checking imdb, the UK does have a new movie called Stardust which opens on 19th October.
