Ok, so most people (especially criminals) that make an appearance on offbeat news aren’t the brightest, but this guy is plain retarded. Who thinks someone will accept a million dollar bill, and most of all who the hell is going to have change to break it? He probably would’ve been okay too if he played it off as a joke instead of getting violent. Off beat news is filled with crazies.

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.

Police believe the $1 million note seized at the supermarket may have originated at a Dallas-based ministry. Last year, the ministry distributed thousands of religious pamphlets with a picture of President Grover Cleveland on a $1 million bill.
