The mystery of the giant stone heads
2007-10-02
Police are on the trail of a shadowy figure who has been dumping giant carved stone heads on village doorsteps at dead of night. . . .

First reports of the discarded heads emerged last week when Fiona Gould, who runs the Forresters Arms hotel in Kilburn, found one on her patio. Five more were discovered in other parts of the village. She said: "Some people think it's a curse - but we have no idea who we might have offended. One woman claims there's a link to werewolves."

Each of the foot-high stones had the hand-written rhyme:

Twinkle, twinkle, like a star.
Does love flourish from afar?

taped to it. There was also a symbol on the reverse similar to the religious "chi-rho" sign with letters added which also could spell the word "paradox".

#11  Look for a 20 or under year old male who took at least two pottery classes and at least one drama class in High School. He probably has long haor, bathes in accordance with a lunar monthly cycle that only he understands. His dad will likely be a successful contractor. He may affect an archeic lingo peppered with words like "groovy."

My profile is complete.

#9  HHHHMMMMMMM, a strange one but one of various, seemingly differentiated world events for this similar period of 2007, including but not limited to SOLAR WIND TAKES OFF COMET's TAIL.

DREAM/VISION [last in 1990's]> COLLISION OF GALAXIES + so-called GALACTIC CENTRE > As the earth moves thru this "Centre" in space, it unsuspectly enters a meteoric stream stemming from same. Fireballs begin to rain down = crash on various parts of our Earth -SUDDENLY, A MASSIVE ROCKY OBJECT APPEARS AND COLLIDES WID EARTH. In my horror, I scream
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO......". I wake up in fear and deep sweat. *EXAMPLE - NEW YORK STATE > a group(s) of people try to take shelter in heavily damaged buildings as outside and all around them [and thru breaks in rooftops] BLACK ANGRY WINDS OF MASSIVE IMMENSE MAGNITUDE/STORM STRENGTH WHIRL THRU THE ATMOSPHERE HORIZON-TO-HORIZON [ Global Wind Storms]. Are EVENTS, NOT event.

Indonesia-Sumatra, etc. Quakes > as said before, iff people refuse or don't want to pray to God to ease his wrath, then at least get out in order to save their own lives and their own, while they still can. LET THE FAITHFUL DO THEIR BEST TO CONVINCE GOD TO SPARE THE EARTH AND HUMANITY.
