Where did Lego Man Come from-8ft Statue Washes Up on Florida Beach

River View Observer’s “Site Seeing” Bringing you interesting posts from around the web!
Bobbing gently in ankle-deep surf at a beach in Siesta Key Beach in Sarasota, Florida an 8 foot tall statue of Lego Man has stirred quite a mystery, having Siesta Beach authorities and local residents askining where did it originate from, and how did it get in the water?
Resembling the little plastic figures that come with a child’s Lego set this mamouth piece is thought to be the brain- child of a dutch artist. And it is becoming to sound more and more as an art experiement because Lego Man has been popping up on various shore lines since 2007 .
The words “NO REAL THAN YOU ARE” are written on the front of his shirt and on the back of his shirt the name Ego Leonard, who by the way has his own website. Until someone comes forward to claim Lego Man in Florida he will remain in the custody of the local Sherrief’s property shop.
