Today's: After Sphinx, a winged monster in Greek mythology who had a woman's head and a lion's body. It killed anyone who was not able to answer its riddle. From
Greek sphinx (literally, strangler), from sphingein (to bind tight), also the source of the word sphincter.]
The definition is rather limited. The word and female head may be from Greek, sphinxes come from older days and with a variety of heads: sphinxesRiddle: "Who took the Sphinx of Gizeh's nose off?". answer

"Who took the Sphinx of Gizeh's nose off?"
Wasn't it some of Napoleon's troops practicing their artillery? But I'm sure there's a funnier answer ...

 Better? He's is falling because right here the nose can't hold his weight and breaks off.(oh, this is 640X480, well heavy tremors and from the net you got to be content with what you can get.)

If we're supposed to answer "Who?", the answer is "indistinct blob". I'm guessing some popular European cartoon character that I wouldn't recognize if the picture was clear.
