Yes, similar cases. One man had brain surgery and upon awaking he had an Irish accent. There are quite a few incidents of this oddity.

Yes its a well documented syndrome.

Im not sure of the Psychological or Physiological causes - but i believe the person with certain brain injuries will - quite uncontrollably - speak in the last foreign accent they heard or the accent they have the most exposure to.

Its enough to make you want to watch Sean Connery films constantly - just in case!

Foreign Accent Syndrome - in that case - might get you laid quite frequently

Just be sure to wake me up before you go-go. And not with any careless whispers, either.
