That’s in Texas, I’m pretty sure it’s in the hill country between San Saba and Junction. I don’t remember where it is exactly but I know I’ve seen it in person
Ok, but I promise it’s in Texas, cause I live here and I’ve driven by the sign. I never would’ve dreamed that we had scenery that looks Alberta or the UK, though.
Is this a cautious way of telling me my moniker s*cks?
Have you really forgotten?

I confess to some amusement that east asia could invent both zen buddism and j-pop. (Ok, the latter required the intrusion of western civilisation; but still…)
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]
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.
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.
I grew up near here in Llano, Texas. The story is that there was an Indian squaw who was pushed off a cliff by a spurned lover. And that squaw’s name was Baby Head.
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.
There once was a man from Nantucket
who carried his head in his pocket
But one day the weather was hot
so his brain began to rot
and now the corpses at Baby Head suck it.
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?
“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) ”
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.
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.
Yes. The Baby’s head served as a warning to other tribes. The hill/mountain they placed the spear with the head on is covered in strange rock formations. It looks like the area around Stonehenge. I guess it was some ritualistic site to the Indians.
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.
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.
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.
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!

First?
Congrats! is it your first time? Now get the hell outa here!
That’s you comment? FAIL!
HOW IS THIS NOT A WIN?!
It’s a sign to a freakin baby head cemetary!!! Tourism win, surely? Or public amenities win?
I wanna go, where is it? Looks like UK by the sign and scenery?
That’s in Texas, I’m pretty sure it’s in the hill country between San Saba and Junction. I don’t remember where it is exactly but I know I’ve seen it in person
This is definitely in Texas! It’s between Llano and Cherokee. I pass it all the time when visiting family.
looks like Central or Northern Alberta to me… by the sign and scenery
Ok, but I promise it’s in Texas, cause I live here and I’ve driven by the sign. I never would’ve dreamed that we had scenery that looks Alberta or the UK, though.
Yes, that is in Texas. The town of Baby Head is about 10-15 miles north of Llano, TX. Look it up on Googlemaps if you do not believe.
Tourism win? Not really. It is such a little town that is out in the middle of nowhere.
Where is that place I wanna eat!!!
<————- The rest of the body is that way.
Yes sad..
I wish it was called Weezy F. (giving) Baby Head Cemetary……..

Would you care to explain?
Quite common error there. ^
It’s really clever, you know. If the bodyparts come to live again, they’re less threatening this way. Eerier, but less threatening.

I buried AE under it yesterday… don’t know where he put it…
No thanks, you’re doing a good job just by yourself.
There once was a man from nantucket… now he’s buried at baby head’s…

his name is arthur… geez…
There once was a man from Nantucket
who carried his head in his pocket
But one day the weather was hot
so his brain began to rot

On a different note, has anyone seen Cherry for the last couple weeks?
Unrelated: it has begun! (H1N1)
You’re sick?
No, but I am seeing patients with the symptoms.
They had to close a school near here because of that stupid H1N1…
A kid at my school wasn’t in because his brother had H1N1.
I caught H1N1 back at the start, just stayed at home and got over it like any other flu….

I think he is but Dumdum on the next fail is not

Words fail me in remarking on what a fail this fail is.
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?
Or the fail could be your failure to identify the fail inside of the fail’s failure to present its fail.
Failing to do so means the fail did not reach its critical mass of failure. Subsequently fail was not fail?
Or to pull it all together….FAIL!

I Bet The Babys Head Is Shown ON the Surface of the ground
“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).
i do like dead baby jokes….
what bubbles and knocks on glass?
I dunno…what??
The cemetery is in Texas:
http://www.cemeteries-of-tx.com/Wtx/Llano/cemetery/BabyHead.html
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.
OMG That is sooo horribly wrong!
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.

Looks Like The HEADLESS Horseman Is Doing A Good Job!
A big FAIL!
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!
I have never laughed so hard. Which makes me feel like Satan.
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.
