Fresh out of prison on a money-laundering conviction, Marlon T. Moore tried to make a big score, federal prosecutors say.

The Miami man -- aka ''X-Large Moore'' -- filed an income tax return seeking a refund of almost $15 trillion.

No joke. Now Moore is charged with filing false claims with the IRS and obstructing the agency's laws.

After his release from a Florida prison in late 2007, Moore allegedly prepared bogus documents claiming that the feds owed him various amounts, including $5,950,000,000,000, $2,975,000,000,000 and $6,000,000,000,000.

''In fact, however, defendant Moore knew he was owed no such amounts,'' according to a statement by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami.

Moore, 38, has a bond hearing on Thursday. If convicted, he faces up to five years in prison for each false claim and up to three years for impeding IRS laws.

A good driver means you know how to drive, not that you have gotten lucky or simply average for the past 10 years. Personally, I would love to see a class in high school devoted to driving. I think it could be fun and informative while greatly reducing the number of accidents (especially fatal ones) on the roads every year. Right now, the driving exam is basically a joke, it means that you know what the pedals...
