The Web site in question is www.allbrevard.net-- but seeing as how many of you aren't near a computer as you read this, I'll walk you through the steps. (The accompanying photos should also help.) Note: You'll need one of the newer $20 bills, first issued in 1998, with the larger, off-center portrait of Andrew Jackson.
1. Take a $20 bill and hold it so that the back of the bill, with the etching of the White House, is facing you. Fold it in half, length-wise, so that the "TWENTY DOLLARS" logo disappears from view.
2. Create an "L" shape by folding the left one-third of the bill upward at a diagonal level. The top of the $20 bill should cross the tucked-up portion just below the "T" in "TWENTY DOLLARS."
3. Now fold the right-hand section of the bill in a similar manner--upward and behind the "In God We Trust" logo, creating a figure that kinda resembles a miniature paper airplane. As you hold the bill, there should be a large "20" near your right thumb and a smaller "20" near your left thumb.Now. Take a look at the "picture" in the center of the folded bill.That's supposed to be the Pentagon, with flames shooting from the center and the sides.And if you turn over the folded bill, there you'll find a portrait of the twin towers aflame.
I showed the $20 bill trick to about a dozen people, all of whom said basically the same thing: "Wow, that's weird. And somebody must have been doing some serious drugs to discover that."Agreed. Although the $20 bill trick isn't an urban legend per se, it does share one common trait with ULs: We'll probably never find out who came up with this notion in the first place. But it does seem like something one would discover only after taking some kind of mind-altering drug and spending hours folding money this way and that.I can't dispute the visual evidence that the folded images resemble mini-pics of the Pentagon and WTC on fire--but if you try to tell me this is some sort of deliberate plan, that for some reason the Treasury Department deliberately designed the $20 bill with two hidden portraits of the terror awaiting us--I'd have to ask what drugs you're taking.
