Thanks! I always wanted to know how to make a Toynbee Tile.

I think it should be noted that the least number of pieces is best, and that the tiles are best placed with lots of asphalt filler on the back, on busy streets, in the summer, so cars will squish them flat into the softened road surface. Crosswalks make good locations.

Some of the original Toynbee Tiles, placed in 1983-84, are still readable today.

i was hoping a amazing chemical reaction to "tattoo" the asphalt or something like that, but all they did was a stupid collage in the ground, just using more resistant materials... no big deal. bad design too.

There is no actual against this. You probably would get in trouble though. A more detailed version of this is a book called "Recipes For Disaster" by Crimethinc
