She bought a painting for $5 at a thrift shop to use as a sort of gag gift. She and her friends were going to throw darts at it, but then they drank too much beer and forgot... She never did give it as a gag gift, so she was going to sell it in a yard sale, and an art teacher said he thought it was a Pollock... And, it turns out it has a Pollock fingerprint on it... and if the art "experts" weren't so snooty, she'd already have fifty million for it.
It's pretty interesting video: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/...n2758110.shtml .
