$1M bill deposit attempt leads to Iowa man's drug arrest
Posted: Tue 1:17 PM, Aug 08, 2017 | Updated: Tue 2:40 PM, Aug 08, 2017
SIOUX CITY, Iowa ( AP) - Authorities say a man who tried to deposit what he presented as a $1 million bill has been charged with drug possession in Iowa.
A criminal complaint says Sioux City police officers were called to a Northwest Bank branch Thursday to talk to a man who tried to deposit the bill into his account. The officers asked 33-year-old Dennis Strickland whether he had any more of the bills and that a baggie fell out when he emptied a pocket. The complaint says the baggie contained methamphetamine.
The U.S. Treasury Department says it has never produced a $1 million bill.
Iowa court records say Strickland is scheduled to be back in court Monday. His attorney hasn't returned a call Tuesday from The Associated Press.
The best part of this story is knowing perfectly well that some reporter from the AP had to call the US Treasury, probably wait on hold for an hour while they got bounced around, just so they could say that they asked and confirmed that the US Treasury has indeed never made a $1 million dollar bill.

Note that vaccines don't cause autism and oh god what kind of world do we live in where people think that it's a reasonable thing to not vaccinate against a bunch of things for fear of one thing that won't happen happening.

Oh thats nothing.
Some miserable gak-stain excuses for human beings Parents think that Autism is caused by parasites in their children's bowels, and that they can kill those parasites and cure their children of Autism by force-feeding them child abuse in liquid form "Miracle Mineral Solution".
Those weird brown "parasites" that get passed in their children's stool? Yeah...those aren't really parasites, those are bits of their children's disintegrating bowel linings.

We get the odd driver on trains into Sydney (it's a 2hr40 to 3hr trip depending on stopping pattern) apologising ("for the convenience") when they arrive early and then say that "it won't happen again.".
Tokyo is exceedingly polite, even when you are in the wrong, though. They apologise because it's not your fault you're an idiot.

That should really read "psychopath endangers lives in Wolverhampton for personal gain". The little gak was interviewed and said he "didn't care" that he wasted the time and resources of the fire brigade. It's to get him money from his YouTube video, so apparently that's OK. I hope his next stunt goes wrong.
