I’d like to comment on the column entitled [What mountain is depicted in the Paramount logo? Why do women laugh hysterically?](http://http://www.straightdope.com/columns/020104.html) , and more specifically on the ‘Mountain of Nightmares’ paragraph. Look carefully at the back of a U.S. one dollar bank note and you’ll see a blatant radiating eyeball of power on the left side of the note. Forgive my ignorance if this is an exhausted conspiracy reference (I am not a conspiraphile), but this strikes closer to home than the symbols on a note from the Bank of Estonia. Unless that was your point.
