I  heard a good rumor recently.  In the past few years, a circular array
of stones was placed in front of the Harvard University Science  Center.
These stones are affectionately called Bok's Rocks.

Anyway at various times during the day sprinklers within the array spray
water over the stones.

The reason for this array of  stones  with  sprinklers  is  obscure  and
mysterious.   I  have  recently heard suggested that the array of stones
forms some  sort  of  primitive  altar  for  strange  sacrificial  rites
(probably  of animals given the size of the stones).  The sprinklers are
there to wash the blood from the altar.
