Message in a Bottle Found From 1987 Turns Out to be Prank

And the kid who found the note...is named Christopher Nolan!

A message in a bottle washed up in a Florida canal dated from 1987! The message read: “Dear person who finds this…I want you to try to return it to me. My name is Zack Williams and if I’m dead by the time you try to return the note just keep it. I put it in the ocean in Myrtle Beach.” But as it turns out, the whole thing was a prank! It took only a few hours for the person who discovered it to realize the note was written by Zack’s son Noah…the week before…and it wasn’t even launched from Myrtle Beach! Another interesting fact about this story is the kid who found the note…is named Christopher Nolan! As in famous movie director Christopher Nolan. (Although there appears to be no relation between the two.)
