Update, Paino Man Still A Mystery

The mysterious piano man is still as mysterious as when he was found walking along a beach in a soaked formel dinner suit.

LONDON, England -- British police and social workers say they are no closer to finding out the identity of the mysterious so-called "Piano Man" despite claims he is a classically-trained Czech musician called Tomas Strnad.

More than 1,100 people worldwide have contacted a special help line set up to try and identify the man and 250 possible names and a number of different nationalities have been suggested.

So far there have been many suggestions as to his idenity, but none of them checked out.

This part of the article is pretty interesting

Ten days ago police in Rome said a Polish mime artist had identified the pianist found as a French musician from Nice named Steve Massone, although Massone's family has denied this.

For someone to pull of a hoax like this off they would have to be a master mime and extremely mentally focused to keep up act for such a long time to avoid slipping up. Even the slightest slip would have him busted.

Does anyone have anymore info on this? I would really like to know more about this mysterious piano man.
