There are more pics but these are the one's you want, if you want the whole thing I will have to send it to you by email. This was a lot of work to get this far.


American $20 Bill Very Interesting!!


History Mystery


Have a history teacher explain this----- if they can.



A braham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head

Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln 's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln .

Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.


John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839. Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.



Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theatre named 'Ford'.
Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln ' made by 'Ford'.

Lincoln was shot in a theatre and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theatre.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.


WHO FIGURED THIS OUT?

INCREDIBLE
1) Fold a NEW $20 bill in half...

Interesting-$20-History


2) Fold again, taking care to fold it exactly as below
Interesting-$20-History


3) Fold the other end, exactly as before

Interesting-$20-History


4) Now, simply turn it over...

Interesting-$20-History


What a coincidence! A simple geometric fold creates a catastrophic premonition printed on all $20 bills!

COINCIDENCE?

YOU DECIDE

As if that wasn't enough...
Here is what you've seen...

Firstly The Pentagon on fire...
Interesting-$20-History


Then The Twin Towers.
Interesting-$20-History

... And now . look at this!

Interesting-$20-History

TRIPLE COINCIDENCE ON A SIMPLE $20 BILL
Disaster (Pentagon)
Disaster ( Twin Towers )
Disaster (Osama)?

It gets even better 9 + 11 = $20!

Creepy huh? Send this to as many people as you can, cause:
Hey, this is one history lesson most people probably will not mind reading!

Well, I personally don't believe the hype about it. People simply found a way to make it resemble 9/11 things, so I'm not buying it.

People can fold paper currency to create just about any fantasy they wish.

What did the U.S. second, third, and fourth presidents (Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and James Monroe) have in common? They all died on the 4th of July!

It's been said at least one million times* that you can use numbers and statistics to mean anything you want them to mean.

*see the above statement.

Regardless, the whole coincidence thing is somewhat interesting and always piques the curiosity of those with a Robert Langdon-esque leaning. Most likely someone was a student of the histories of the Presidents and happened to notice these similarities/coincidences.

The origami-esque stuff... wow, someone had some spare time on their hands. I bet I could spell "Zbigniew Brzezinski" with a dollar bill if I tried hard enough.

I remember buying Mad Magazine when I was a kid and folding the back cover to make some goofy new picture, as well.

I'll be curious to see what tragedy someone folds the next redesigned $10 into when it comes out.

Step 1 needs to be changed into:

1) Fold an OLD $20 bill in half...

I have heard of this before and while it is interesting, I think it is just a coincidence.
