Toynbee Idea's in Kubrick's 2001 Resurrect Dead on Planet Jupiter

I was looking for this page a while back to show to Lori on weird public art stuff that people do... Someone has gone around to hundreds of streets in dozens of cities and embedded tiles with a message into the streets. The messages are almost all alike and contain some variation of "Toynbee Idea's in Kubrick's 2001 Resurrect Dead on Planet Jupiter." There is even one of these tiles in downtown Indianapolis, on Geogia and Meridian Streets, according to this site.

What does it mean? No one's certain, but it apparently has something to do with a man name James Morasco who has no voice box, secret short-wave radio broadcasts, and playwright David Mamet.

Other news articles about the tiles:

� Kansas City Star: Toynbee tile found downtown
