Not sure if this has been posted recently, as it's an old article, but I thought it was hilarious.

I heard they were planning to do a movie about this guy with Bill Murray a few years ago, I guess it never went through.

Larsen took an interest in a local radio station contest. They were giving away a $30,000 jackpot to anyone who could produce "consecutive serial numbers" on two pieces of American currency.

Holy cow. I had read the story of this on snopes, but this site has way more detail. It's really sad to hear about how he blew the money too. /images/graemlins/frown.gif
