It was all a hoax.

The "Piano Man" turned out to be a hoax worthy of Snopes. Fecking git. I'm so disappointed. not that I wanted the guy to be mentally ill and helpless - or maybe I did because that somehow akes the whole thing more interesting. Which is pretty pathetic of me. I should be glad he's healthy. But damnit I was so intrigued. Now I feel used.

Anyway there aren't many details, just that he decided to start talking last week and told the nurses her was a German and couldn't really play the piano. he just drew that piano because it was the first thing that came to mind. There are reports that he had worked with the mentally ill in the past and emulated some of their symptoms in order to fool the doctors.

Now he's been sent back to Germany where I expect he'll have to you know, get a job and stuff.

Grrr.
