well these are strange..... street art in the most literal sense of the word
"For the uninitiated, a faded spread of tiles in the middle of a busy intersection wouldn't be cause for confusion, excitement, and trepidation. But for those who know of the Toynbee Tiles, each sighting adds a new level to a mystery that spans more than three decades, two continents, and has driven even the most placid of minds to madness.
The Toynbee Tiles are pieces of linoleum that appear in the asphalt of random intersections in major North American cities, mostly in the northeast, although some have even been spotted as far as South America. They (for the most part) bear a variation on the following message:
TOYNBEE IDEA
IN KUBRICK'S 2001
RESURRECT DEAD
ON PLANET JUPITER"
anyone know more about these? looking forward to watching the doc
