Exploring the possibilities

Boing Boing has an interesting post about a gentleman who was found soaking wet, dressed in a suit and tie with the labels cut out, on the streets of Sheerness, Kent, UK. He is quite anxious and hasn't said a word since he was picked up on April 7.

When asked to draw a picture of a flag or write his name he drew a lovely image of a piano, complete with workings. When he was sat down at the piano he played for a couple of hours.

A hotline is getting quite a lot of calls as the people who are keeping him in a mental institution "for his own safety" try and determine who he is.

I read several articles about this man. His hair may have been dyed blonde. One theory was that he had been attending a funeral nearby and was somehow so traumatized that he can no longer communicate.

I wonder a lot of things. Was he wet with salt water? Did he indeed come out of the sea? Has he had bloodwork done? Is he human? Is he a time traveler? Is he a merman who found a piano that sank with the Titanic and has come ashore so he can hear how it sounds in the air? When you don't know anything then anything is possible.
