Man Jailed for trying to pass $1 Million Bill[/list:u]PITTSBURGH - Change for a million? That's what a man was seeking Saturday when he handed a $1 million bill to a cashier at a Pittsburgh supermarket. But when the Giant Eagle employee refused and a manager confiscated the bogus bill, the man flew into a rage, police said.

The man slammed an electronic funds-transfer machine into the counter and reached for a scanner gun, police said.

Police arrested the man, who was not carrying identification and has refused to give his name to authorities. He is being held in the Allegheny County Jail.

Since 1969, the $100 bill is the largest note in circulation.

dude, this is ridiculous that everything contains lead now....i bet you all the toilet paper in the states contains lead too....so much for consumer protection huh....not that i don't believe these lead contamination stories...not only do i believe them, but i will suggest this has been going on for years if not decades and ppl responsible for knowing about this stuff have just only pulled their lead-filled heads out of their lead-filled asses.

You should be aware...

chinese tofu probably contains lead too.

Yup.

At least this time the dose is low, but the list keeps getting bigger.

... The coalition said that some less expensive brands it had tested, such as Revlon, had no detectable levels of lead, while the more expensive Dior Addict brand had higher levels than some other brands.... For once, cheap products are not to blame. :crazy2:

Just weird... No idea if it's true or not tho.
