I don’t know if this has been asked before, but has anybody heard about this? Apparently, if you fold a 20 a certain way, it will show the Twin Towers and and the Pentagon burning. I found [this site](http://www.glennbeck.com/news/05172002.shtml) that shows how to do it. I didn’t have a 20, so I used a 5. I musta done it wrong, because all I got was Lincoln sitting in the balconey at Fords Theater. ---

Here’s the Non-Conspiracy Theorist version, from Snopes. 😃 [www.snopes.com/rumors/20bill.htm](http://www.snopes.com/rumors/20bill.htm) An extra added bonus: See the Land O’ Lakes girl holding her own jubblies! Not to mention Naked French Currency… 😃 ---

Hehehe, the Land O’ Lakes girl thing was a big hit when I was in 4th grade. Still makes me chuckle. ---

From the listener’s comments on imthjckaz’s conspiracy site: > [@](#): > > Even worse than the $20, fold a new dollar coin in half, and it turns into a black helicopter. heh ---

OSAMA FOUND IN KOREA!! If you fold a [1000 won bill](http://english.kangnam.seoul.kr/live/banking/money.htm) in a fairly complex manner, you end up with a portrait of what looks eerily like OBL! **Astrogirl** showed me this a few months ago…😉 ---

Heh, the moron that showed me this says" And 9 + 11 = 20!" I don’t even know what the hell he means! The terrorist attacks were a government conspiracy? It’s been planned ever since the $20 bill was created? I folded a $5 so that 1/4 of Lincoln’s head was obstructed and said “Look, it shows Lincoln after being shot! And he was killed on April 14th, 1+4=5!” I am dead serious when I say his reaction was a Keanu Reeves-like “whoa…” It saddens me that this man is allowed to breed. ---

Well I’ll be dipped. A friend just showed me the $20 thing yesterday. Being a Doper, I just smiled and said “Hm. Fascinating. Hey, isn’t it time for you to be listening to Art Bell?” _sigh_ It’s been a while since I read snopes. Think I’ll go there now. 🙂
