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.
