This eight foot tall LEGO statue washed up on Siesta Key Beach in Floriday. The statue, made of fiberglass, had the words "No Real Than You Are" imprinted on its torso, with the name Ego Leonard and the number 8 on its back.

Theories abound as to what the statue is about, though LEGOLand officials have already confirmed that this isn't an official LEGO product in any way. Ego Leonard's website has the same phrase in its header, and in an e-mail response to the Herald Tribune the LEGO "man" wrote back in the first person, saying "I am glad I crossed over. Although it was a hell of a swimm... Nice weather here and friendly people. I think I am gonna stay here for a while. A local sheriff escorted me to my new home."

The mystery deepens, WINners...

So, the LEGO Star Destroyer model is a Real Thing (for a mere $400) that I had no idea existed. Looks like I found a new way to burn a weekend!
