Now That's Something You Don't See Everyday

MIAMI (AP) ? A grand piano recently showed up on a sandbar in Miami's Biscayne Bay, about 200 yards from condominiums on the shore.

The piano, which weighs at least 650 pounds, was placed at the highest spot along the sandbar so it doesn't get underwater during high tide.

While officials aren't sure how it got there, they know it won't be going anywhere unless it becomes a hazard to wildlife or boaters.

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokesman Jorge Pino says the agency is not responsible for moving such items. And, he adds, unless it becomes a navigational hazard, the U.S. Coast Guard won't get involved.

For now, the piano has become a fancy roost for seagulls.

I know how it got there....


"Well, it was during the recent Biscayne Bay flood. The dam broke and when the water hit our house it knocked it right off the foundation. Grandma got on the dining room table and floated out safely."

"How about you?"

"Me? I accompanied her on the piano!"

Saw it on the news this morning ... authorities think it was used in the filming of a music video and then left there ... Hope they find the person that left it and make them pay to have it removed ...

BREAKING NEWS........they found the students that placed the piano on the bar. They were having a party, set the piano on fire, didn't know what to do with it, loaded it in their boat and took it to the bar where they set it on fire again. Kids with to much time on their hands.
