X Files- some things you just can't explain !! (pics included)

These are some pics of a 2 ton granite ball that rotates on top of it's base for some unknown reason in a cemetary in Sullivan, IL. It broke free from it's base a couple of years after it was erected, and very slowly revolves- The name Johnson was originally straight across the ball- In the 1940's they used a crane and recemented it in its original position. After about 2 years. it broke free again and started rotating again- If you notice the chip in one of the photos. that it where it broke free the 2nd time- The 1st pic I took in 1977 the rest in 2004- It seems to follow the same general path, but I have observed the name Johnson completely under the ball, etc. Makes you wonder ??

BTW, it is still doing the same thing !!

Spooky!

But, if I had to guess, I'll bet that J.J. (John Johnson) is not too happy about being UNDER that gigantosaurus of a rock! 

But, that's just a guess?

"The photos in the previous post are of an old German pruning type knife I just aquired. It surely is interesting, and quite old."
