A seemingly homeless man woke up outside of a Georgia Burger King in 2004, beaten badly and without a memory. Since then, no amount of research or attempts to recollect have been able to uncover his identity. Now 64, Benjamin Kyle, as he is called these days, is still officially listed as “missing,” as only his whereabouts are known. He is a stranger to all–including himself. Kyle just did an Ask Me Anything at Reddit. A few exchanges follow.

Question:

Were there other things you forgot besides your identity that you had to relearn?

Answer: 

I’m not sure I had to re learn anything. It seems like whenever i need to do something, if i’ve done it before, I remember. When I got in a car I knew how to drive a car.

I had a dream where I repaired a restaurant stove. And remembered how to do it.
