Heads Abound and the Mystery thickens

So I am going through my Stargate phase at the moment, what with watching all of season 1 with 5 days & now I have started season 2 - God bless the Internet :-D . However upon reading this article below, I am quiet intrigued, perhaps we are about to be visited by some far off alien race. Then again Stargate was fiction...........It was fiction wasn't it? :-p -------------------------------------------------------------------
Heads Turn Over Mystery Sculptures Mystery stone sculptures have turned up outside a number of properties in Yorkshire - but no-one knows why or where they have come from. The sculptures all feature the same carved symbol and come with a riddle attached.
Mr Griffiths was left both heads Who dumped this - and why?

So far, 12 stone heads have appeared in Goathland and Kilburn, in North Yorkshire; four have been found in Arthington, near Leeds, West Yorkshire; and three in Braithwell, near Rotherham, South Yorkshire.

Each of the heads 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?"

Mike and Valerie Hoyes, who run a post office in Braithwell, found three heads outside their business on the morning of August 23.

Checking their CCTV footage, they discovered a man they did not know dropping off the stones in a small car at around 4am.

George Griffiths, an artist from Arthington, near Leeds, also received one of the heads on August 23 and then found another outside his house two weeks later.

Mr Griffiths said: "I think it's a publicity stunt - I can't see anything else.

"They're not sinister or anything like that, it's just a puzzle. We're all just waiting and wondering to find out more."

Fiona Gould, the owner of the Forrester Arms Hotel in Kilburn, received her head last month and it has pride of place in the pub.

She said: "He turned up a week last Monday between 1.30am and 7.30am. I opened the door and there he was, as large as life, sat on the patio."

A North Yorkshire Police spokeswoman confirmed they had received reports of stone heads being left in various places around the village of Kilburn.
