Has anyone heard about this? Apparently over the past few weeks people have been finding very strange notes tucked into books in the library at Southwestern University in Ontario:

There have been sixteen so far - woops, 17. Each one has been found in a plain white envelope, often between pages 16-17, with an object: a leaf (plastic), a feather, or a gem (the crafty kind). Whatever is found with the note is reflected in the "text" - as, in this one, the feather symbol is colored pink. There is always a very simple picture of an object - a drinking glass, a pillow, a table, a box, etc.  And no one can figure out what, if anything, these things say.

Is it aliens? Art students? A local Ikea manager with a flair for the dramatic? No one knows. There's a professor keeping a blog about it - and offering $100 (Canadian) for the answer.

I love this.
