This only goes to prove you can be anyone on Facebook (or maybe even myspace) if you're willing to do some time.

I wonder "why?". Why create the account? Did he do it for satirical reasons, was he delusional, supremely bored, etc. ? We'll probably never know the answer.

I wrote a short story about something like that a couple of years ago about someone using a blog pretending to be a prince of a made up country. The story is lost now.
