Perhaps an improbable wormhole opened, causing your spooon to slip through the space/time continuum onto a distant planet many years in the past or future while this statue was sent back as kind of a thank-you present? Or maybe you're just a loony?

Why is it that funny? What is so unreasonable about it? I don't see any other cause for it than what I stated earlier.

Water doesn't melt sthingys

Then what else could have happened?

I would have to say the same thing as Psygon. What material was the sthingy made of?

It was just a regular metal sthingy.

Ok,here are some reasons that might be possibles:
-Your house is haunted(surely not)
-Someone intrude and stole some stuff and gave you a gift as a symbol.
-You see stuff cause you took something(don't know what)
-You became crazy(surely not)
These are the only one I can think of.

Or perhaps the more probable conclusion: Sim is lying.
His claim is just as extraordinary as if I were to claim that I own a nuclear missile. Until he provides evidence to back up his claim in this respect, one shouldn't believe it anymore than myself telling you that E.T. visited me in my closest for three hours. I could easily claim that it's true, but that would not make it so.
A simple test for Sim to do to see where his hypothesis is a valid one is to repeat the process again and again, observing it himself. If, after many experiments he observes no change in the sthingys themselves, his hypothesis of water changing the sthingy would be falsified.
Sim's use of this is is your standard variation of Paley's Teleological argument. Unless very much mistaken, he's supposed to, at this point, point out that my skepticism in his claim is no different than his skepticism in evolution as an explanation of life and its diversity, oblivious to the differences in his analogy than cause the connection to fail.
'Course, it won't surprise me if he denies the entire thing, labelling me a paranoid git, although I don't think there will be much more continuation of this thread, since I doubt anyone would seriously taken him at his word on the matter, and the entire thread (if in earnest), relies in us doing such.

If the matter is false, you may call it a lie. He may just want to have a little laugh, and by me, it's fine.
But I agree, I don't see any reasonable explanation of it.
