"I want to tell my story", says a man who is miraculously hale after 66 days at sea

"I was stranded at sea, after we made our huge discovery of WMDs in Irag, and uncovered what might be the keystone to unlock how climate change truly is a hoax".

He is passionate, dedicated, and oddly not dessicated after 66 days in the wintery Atlantic, alone. He survived after plunging into 50 degree waters even after breaking his scapula (shoulder) by pushing his 35 foot boat upright 3 times over the course of his journey.

I'm Brian Williams, we'll see it in our next segment.

I think this is humor but I clearly am not getting it. I heard about the guy rescued at sea but past that... huh?

that supposedly got rescued 200 miles off the coast of NC.

That's about half a second from Norfolk, and they aren't going to be aware of any dimwit floating aimlessly in their waters.

It was a stupid story.

I probably shouldn't play into it, but it was such a STUPID hoax.

I weighed in on it, and probably should have let it sink, but I didn't.

Nobody so far found any actual evidence that this guy was somewhere else during the time in question.

So what you are claiming is not making any sense.

When someone advances an argument that makes no sense, then tells you that you make no sense!

He was reported missing in January. Nobody found any evidence that he came ashore during this time. He lost a lot of weight.
So what is your proof this was all a hoax? You got none as far as I can tell.
