Yesterday, an 8 foot tall giant lego man (named Ego Leonard) washed ashore in our part of Florida. He is a mystery that continues to unravel. In the meantime, he has been taken into custody by the Sherriff's Dept. The article in today's paper created quite a stir among the kids! We want to adopt him! The man who found him gets to keep him if he is not claimed by anyone in 90 days! We want him to live happily in our play yard so we can climb and sit on him when he's laying down, or to poke his head above our fence and wave to traffic when standing up. How cool is that!?!? Any ideas how we can mount a "Free Ego Leonard" publicity campaign and bring this wonderfully weird item to our school? www.heraldtribune.com
The Strangest Thing Washed Ashore!

Write to your editor, an open letter to the finder, owner, whoever might lay claim to him. Tell them you are asking to adopt him so you can use him in your lessons.
Lessons about currents, pollution, perseverance, get real crazy with it!! I will write a letter for support on your behalf. I'm sure a lot of us would!!! Pm me if you want me to!!- Flag

Lego Land has denied involvement! Lol! I don't care how or why he came to my beach, but he's here now and he should come live with us!
Laundrymom! Yes! Open letter! I wonder if the paper will enertain this idea? I googled the finder, found a phone # for him, no answer yet- Flag

OMG!! That is so rediculously cool!! I would love to have him too!
Do what laundrymom suggested and maybe start up a FB page petitioning custody of him temporarily with the hopes to gain full custody.
Too cool!! I love Legos!!- Flag

It sounds to me like the guy that's supposedly behind the making of them dropped 8 or more into the ocean somewhere and is hoping to find out where they go...one apparently washed up in 2007 in Holland and 2008 in England, now 2011 in Florida. That makes three, and apparently this one had an 8 on the back. Interesting...Hee hee! Look, I have a signature!- Flag

when we went to florida this year, ds was so devistated that lego land was closed (can you imagine, I drove 2 days to get to florida) so we are hoping that when we go next year lego land will be open.- Flag

I'm having trouble understanding his T-shirt. I'm thinking it was made in China.
If you do put in a plea, promise the current owner that you plan to change his shirt and give him a more uplifting message. And, promise to take him to lego land at least once a year to visit his relatives.- Flag

Hey... what about if you claim him??? Say you and he were out on a little boating trip when he fell overboard.
Or, he was trying to train for his next triathlon, and never made it home from his swim.- Flag
