  1. Dann says:

    First?

  2. jam says:

    <————- The rest of the body is that way.

  3. Dann says:

    Sad though..

    • überRegenbogen says:

      The part about the baby being killed by indians sounds suspiciously like: commit a hanus crime (e.g. sexual molestation and murder) and blame it on the most convenient scapegoat.

      I could imagine a child being slain as part of a group, by a group of hellions who had developed a general hatred toward their class. But an isolated child seems unlikely. A band of indians wouldn’t go so far out of their way for a single arbitrary target.

      Nonetheless, lie or not, it apparently is how the name Babyhead began. (Curious though that the sign reads Baby Head, when the official marker reads Babyhead. Yer basic bureaucratic f’up, i guess.)

      ♫ Oh to live on Baby Mountain, with the dead babies and the apocryphal tales. ♪ [apologies to Neil Young]

      • Outfitter says:

        I work on Baby Head Ranch, where the head was actually placed (I’m hunting guide). The Indians murdered an entire rival tribe and placed the head on a spear on top of the tallest hill/mountain in the area as a warning to other tribes. The top of the hill/mountain is covered in strange rock formations that resemble the area around Stonehenge. We guess that the place was a ritualistic site to the Indians.

      • Brian says:

        heinous?

  4. jehovah says:

    HELLO MOTHER IM ON FAILBLOG

  5. For cerebral intertainment?

    (i’ll get my coat)

  6. Massawyrm says:

    Sigh. This is a real place with a creepy, tragic story. This is more of a first glance fail – when you hear a version of the story, you won’t see fail anymore.

  7. Mortbane says:

    Hey, I know that place. It’s in Llano, TX. I used to go to school in Llano and we passed by that all the time. Forgot about it entirely until just now. Crazy.

  8. Arthur Eld says:

    Hmm. I need a straw. It’s tiny.

  9. Noctaluca says:

    duck my sick too!

  10. czuhc says:

    No thanks, you’re doing a good job just by yourself.

  11. Noctaluca says:

    There once was a man from nantucket… now he’s buried at baby head’s…

  12. the head bone’s connected to the….hmmm maybe not
    *squeezes Arthur GBF & Czuhc*

  13. Halifax180 says:

    On a different note, has anyone seen Cherry for the last couple weeks?

  14. czuhc says:

    Unrelated: it has begun! (H1N1)

  15. Erinyes says:

    Look at the bones!

  16. If I were a baby’s head, that’s where I’d want to be buried…

  17. Brewski says:

    Hm, no radebe. Is he behaving?

  18. 5 eagles "enigma" says:

    This is Zombo’s A. Daycare.:)

  19. CyberSkull says:

    I…
    Words fail me in remarking on what a fail this fail is.

    • 5 eagles "enigma" says:

      Fail or no fail what we fail at is recognizing the fail, so the fail could be the fail or would be the fail so it is a remarkable fail Mr Cyberskull would you agree?

  20. LadyBelle says:

    “Location: Highway 16 North from Llano toward San Saba. Turn right when you see the green cemetery sign on the highway.

    Historical Marker: According to local oral tradition, the name BabyHead was given to the mountain in this area in the 1850′s, when a small child was killed by indians and its remains left on the mountain. A local creek also carried the name, and a pioneer community founded in the 1870′s became known as Baby Head. The oldest documented grave here is that of another child, Jodie May McKneely, who died on New Year’s Day 1884. The cemetery is the last physical reminder of the Baby Head community, which once boasted numerous homes, farms and businesses. (1991) ”

    • Outfitter says:

      I work on the nearby Baby Head Ranch. It’s a game ranch now, we recently recieved a shipment of exotic animals.

  21. kk1200 says:

    This is actually a historical marker that was made to commerate the place where Indians attacked a settlement and killed a child. The cemetary was placed on the site where the Indians left the head of a child that they had captured and decapitated as a threat to the settlers. It is where the child was barried. So actullay this is an ignorance FAIL on the posters behalf.

    • loopy78 says:

      Here, here! I was just about to say the same thing. Nice to know someone else isn’t as…ignorant, too.

  22. Zedo Mann says:

    [off topic]
    The comments were made long before I awakened this morning.

  23. GutmanAss says:

    the eat the rest, xD

  24. Outfitter says:

    This is in Llano, Texas. I work on the nearby Baby Head Ranch. I think it was in the 1800′s that an Indian tribe raided a fellow tribe and killed everyone. They then proceded to place a baby’s head on a spear and plant it on the top of the tallest hill/mountain on the ranch to proclaim their victory. It’s a very beutifal ranch, I never thought I’d see pictures of my workplace on Failblog.

  25. Limerick Man says:

    There once was a monster named Fred,
    who refused to eat baby head,
    so the noggins he’d bury
    in the old cemetery,
    and the bodies he would eat with brown bread.

  26. ThaBlob says:

    Baby zombies win

  27. stix213 says:

    Plots are cheaper if you just bury the head

  28. Defender of Kosova says:

    I miss Tejas :(

  29. igiveup says:

    dats win not fail

  30. The Failer says:

    I Bet The Babys Head Is Shown ON the Surface of the ground

  31. Emperor Tomato Catsup says:

    “Baby Head Cemetary?” Sounds like something out of a Cormac McCarthy novel (read Blood Meridian or The Road if you don’t know what I’m talking about).

  32. Bader says:

    i do like dead baby jokes….
    what bubbles and knocks on glass?

  33. Stryder :) says:

    I dunno…what??

  34. Dr.Oppotimus says:

    So……I’m thinking they feed the rest of the babies to the high concentration of feral cats in the area. Thats what I do with my baby leftovers.

  35. PHAILE says:

    OMG That is sooo horribly wrong!

  36. Dr. Noisewater says:

    Yeah, I’ve been there. My Granddad told me some kind of story about a baby head put on a stick by “Injuns.” Pretty sure it was entirely false, but it made a good tale.

    • katieelaine says:

      My family has land out there and I can verify that’s a true story.

      Indians were pissed that white people moved in, so they stole their baby, cut off it’s head, and stuck it on a stick on the top of the big hill in that area.

      It’s in Baby Head, TX

  37. The Failer says:

    Looks Like The HEADLESS Horseman Is Doing A Good Job!

  38. lolcatzfan75 says:

    A big FAIL!

  39. Ash-hole says:

    What’s sad is.. I’ve been there. I’m in Teague, TX. That cemetery tripped me out the first time i saw but I thought i was the only one who would know about it! lol WIN!

  40. Rebecca says:

    I have never laughed so hard. Which makes me feel like Satan.

  41. Maplebar says:

    This is a real graveyard. Its an old pioneer graveyard. I beleive it was so named because the first to be buried there was an infant.
