] Georgia (AP) -- A Georgia woman who tried to use a fake
] $1 million bill to buy $1,675 worth of merchandise at
] Wal-Mart was arrested, and police later found two more of
] the bills in her purse.
]
] The U.S. Treasury does not make $1 million bills, but
] similar-looking currency is sold in some souvenir shops.
] The fake bill featured a picture of the Statue of
] Liberty, police said.
]
] "It looks real, but of course there's nothing real about
] this," said Stacey Cotton, police chief in Covington,
] about 30 miles southeast of Atlanta. "People do crazy
] things all the time."
]
] A store clerk immediately noticed the bill was fake when
] 35-year-old Alice Regina Pike handed it to her on Friday,
] Cotton said.
]
] Pike then tried to use two gift cards worth only $2.32 to
] buy the merchandise, but when that did not work she again
] asked to cash the $1 million bill, Cotton said. The store
] then called police.
]
] Pike was jailed on forgery charges. A woman who answered
] the phone at the jail said she did not know if Pike has a
] lawyer.

I'd have said "I'm sorry, I don't have change for any bill over $100,000. Is gold bullion OK? I'll have to have the manager open the vault..." -LB

[ Yeah... this is from *today*. Still no accountability. Still no audit trail. Still no concern for security of eVoting systems. If there's a compromise in november, the country's gonna go nuts. Sweet jesus help Kathy Cox if that shit goes down, because there are some people that're gonna wanna have a word with her, and every other moron whose given carte blanche to Diebold. -k]

Lets see... no paper record of how someone voted. Translation - no way to verify or do a recount, because there is no physical record. And people are OK with this?? Then again, considering less than half of elegable voters turn out to vote, it should come as no surprise. Dip shits.

] Welcome to SeeMeRot.com this site is dedicated to all who
] have gone before us. Two months ago we attached the
] worlds first 'Live Coffin Cams' to the interior of our
] subjects' casket. This was done after friends and family
] had seen the deceased for the last time. We then
] travelled over 2000 miles with the casket to the familys'
] chosen burial place. [undisclosed to protect gravesite]
]
]
] Having arrived at the graveyard a small ceremony was
] held, after which the final preparations were made to
] our transmitting hardware and lighting units. All went
] according to plan (at first) and the casket was lowered
] just after lunchtime April 15th, 2003. Cam tests were
] carried out at the site and the grave was sealed! We then
] set off back to our office in the heart of Seattle.
]
] From our base in Seattle we should have been able to
] control the lighting and 'refresh rate' of the camera
] equipment. Unfortunately, we had problems from the
] start, lighting and mounting issues meant that the cam
] was not only almost impossible to see but also the zoom
] mal-functioned. We trust that the new site will be more
] suitable. We hope you find SeeMeRot.com a fascinating
] place to visit over the coming months.
]
] We will be able to view the new cam for many years,
] several modifications have been made to this latest cam
] and the casket itself - Whilst it is still buried 'six feet
] under', the staging area of this unit suits our technical
] requirements far better. Thanks for stopping by.

] Should you wish to discuss plans for your own 'Coffin Cam' for
] family and friends, please contact us for pricing details.

it had to happen sooner or later. -LB
