Oh my Cod! (oops, wrong pun thread) Hang your head....we may need to put you in a plain brown wrapper. No that won't work. You'd just get arrested for rustling.

New clue in mystery of giant floating head (yahoo.com)

---
Yesterday a tipster sent us a 2004 article featuring this creepy headline: "The Head keeps watch from hill in Meredith." It told the story of a New Jersey couple, Louis and Kimberly Moses, who bought an 8-foot fiberglass sculpture from a junkyard and placed it on the hill of their new Meredith, NY property (which is not exactly close to the Hudson). "The Head" (as they call it) was originally crafted as a display piece for Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City.

The head in the 2004 article "is an 8-foot-high, 300-pound sculpture made of fiberglass over foam..." http://old.thedailystar.com/news/stories/2004/09/02/head.html

If said head is indeed our Hudson 7ft Floating Head head, then the poor little guy has lost a foot; oh, the poignancy.

Also, a commentator on the '04 article said the head was styrofoaming at the mouth.

I was out of my head worrying that we would never see hide not tail of him again...

(though I guess we never did see hide nor tail of him before, either... If you get my "drift")

Appearance of Mysterious Statue Possibly Related to 70′s Dismemberment Murder (whofortedblog.com)

Tending to doubt murder implication as Della Penna is a surname and not that uncommon.

No article here anymore...

I guess it is "headed" to the archives?

:dunno:

Per the above article:

"Kimberly Moses said the statue's name is The Head, although a lot of people think it looks like Sylvester Stallone."



You be da' judge....

Good find. I was wondering about that one (but was too lazy actually to google and thus satisfy my wonderment). That it winds up being not connected to a notorious past murder is - well - sort of disappointing though, all things considered!

Cunning combination of Gertrude Stein and the Bard on that rose business!

Gertrude Stein, in 'Sacred Emily': "Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose."

Juliet, in 'R&J': "That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."

Doh! What a pea brain I am! LMH(ead)O!

I'd like to take credit for the cunning combination but in all honesty, I just mangled that quote!
