Random Question (October 31, 2013)

Q. In which town in New York state would you find this 18-foot-high steel sculpture?

A. Sleepy Hollow

This statue stands near the grave of Washington Irving, who wrote 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' in 1819. The story, about the revenge of a headless horseman (seen in  the sculpture about to fling his jack-o-lantern pumpkin head at one of his victims), has been revisited in the 1999 Johnny Depp starrer "Sleepy Hollow" and an ongoing TV series with the same name.
