NY - Seven-foot-tall head found floating in Hudson

[TrackerSam]

The bad news is, me thinks the case has been solved but not by us:

"....... publishers Mark Moran and Mark Sceurman were quick to identify it from a 1999 issue of their magazine Weird N.J., in which a reader-submitted article placed the head in Bergen County, New Jersey"

I'll be the first to admit it... I stooped to the lowest levels of humor on this thread, however, I was in the company of some quick-witted WS'ers who made me laugh my HEAD off. Let's do this again some time!

We really fed off each other didn't we? I almost deleted my last post because I knew it would mean end of the thread....but I did enjoy not having to use my brain so much. I don't know where godot went, but he/she has my thanks for starting all this.

godot is probably admiring his/her new WS merit badge & enjoying ice cream as it appears we surpassed the 250th post. :applause:

Yes, but at 300 I was to receive a small trophy engraved with the WS coat of arms.

Another watery prospect with possible puntential:

Is that head Stone?

 

[fred&edna]

BARDon me for not taking part in the Shakespeare puns, I just don't have a head for them.

 

[TrackerSam]

Well....there's good news and bad news. The good news is we sleuths have left no stone unturned in our round-the-clock quest to put this puzzle together.

(FYI, I used a 99cent app "Image Chef" to make the above photo effects, using my phone. I used the free app "photo collage" for the frame effects...jj)

Looks like a bad case of dandruff. He could use some Head and Shoulders.

Keep going! At the 200th post, I received my thread-starter #WSmeritbadge #eaglescouts. At 250, I get ice cream!

Well... I guess we better get a head start and head on down to 31 flavors to stand in line for ice cream!

:sundae: :sundae: :sundae:

I did one today (which has sunk beneath the waves) about cannibalism in the Jamestown colony, but probably it would be in bad TASTE to spin puns under that sort of thread title.

Well... Did you hear the one about the cannibal who passed his brother on the road?

:blushing:

I removed the story and pic of this newly found head. I haven't been able to verify but it may have a sad inscription on it. I guess I got ahead of myself. Carry on.

What's going on in this thread now? You guys continue to go where most members dare not head.

I was conflicted about where to post this joke. Here or on the slippery eel thread. After all it is a whale of a tale. Here goes...

A boy was walking down the road when he noticed an old geezer with an unusually small head. The curious boy walked up to the geezer and said, "Hey mister! Why the heck is your head so small?"

The old man looked at the boy and replied, "Boy, if I wasn't so damn old, I'd give you a beating... but since you remind me of myself at your age, I will tell you."

The boy listened curiously as the geezer explained, "One day I was fishing on the pier when I got a huge bite... And, I said to myself, 'Holy carp! I've caught a whale!'"

"No kidding?" pried the boy. The geezer continued, "But, when I reeled it up, to my surprise, it was a gorgeous mermaid! Well, she looked at me in tremendous fright and said she'd grant me one wish if I let her free..."

"And?" interjected the boy. "Well, after some quick thought, I looked at her and said, 'How 'bout a little head?'" View attachment 33645

This head rolls into a bar. Bartender looks down and asks " May I help you?"
"Do you have any grapes?" the head asks.
"No we don't. This is a bar" the bartender replys.
The next day the heard rolls into the bar and asks again "Do you have any grapes?" Again the bartender says no.
This goes on all week and by Saturday the bartender had had enough. Angrily he tells the head, "I've been telling you all week, this is a bar and we don't sell grapes. If you come in again asking for grapes I'm going to nail your tongue to the floor. Now get out".
The bar is closed on Sundays but on Monday the head rolls in and the bartender is immediatley angry.
"Do you have any nails"? the head asks. This gives the exasperated bartender pause......"No we don't have any nails"
The head looks up and asks "Then do you have any grapes?" (rim shot) :drumroll:

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.

The statue lady looks way older than 17.
