This is about as random as it gets: an eight-foot-tall Lego man mysteriously washed up on a beach in Brighton, England. The colorful hunk of plastic showed up on Wednesday and no one knows where he came from. Locals are coming up with all sorts of explanations, which are sure to become local legend.
While some believe he floated from Denmark-where there is a LEGOLand park, others suggest he toppled off a ship. Of course, there's always the cynical possibility he's part of a publicity stunt. But Lego was insistent: "We're bemused. He has nothing to do with us."
One Brighton resident said, "It's very odd. God knows how it got here but people are saying it's from Holland because it's got some Dutch writing on it."
"The kids love it," the resident said. Children who helped stand the Lego man up on the beach were desperately curious about where it came from.
A spokesman for Brighton and Hove City Council said town hall officials had no idea of the origin of the Lego man, but added that they saw no difficulty in letting it stay on the beach where it washed up. "There's no problem at all. It will be interesting to see how long the Lego man stays there for. We'll keep an eye on it," he said.
Well, some Lego community somewhere must be missing a very big player in their game.
The Lego man's arrival comes two years after an armada of plastic ducks landed on British shores. Borne on the ocean currents, the ducks had made a 17,000-mile odyssey from the Pacific where they had been washed from a container ship in a 1992 storm.
