"Toynbee" Plaques - A Meta Meta Meta Discussion
OK. There are these plaques all over the place in the streets of New York and other cities. I've seen them and wondered what they were. Apparently, so have a lot of other people. There are links and an active Metafilter discussion on the matter. You can't join the Metafilter discussion unless you happen to be a member. But you can discuss it here!

Wow, what a great topic! I want to know how old the Mamet playlet/monolog/whatever is, and whether there's some previous Toynbee/Jupiter reference -- if not, he's the source and not just a vector. Can't wait to find out more; those inlays drive me nuts too.
