Today in school my teacher showed us this instructable,
Then I told him that there was a similar trick and he shoud google "jeff the killer" (Its a famous CreepyPasta) then later when he was gone then a guy in my class googled it . . .

has anyone ever put together that 9 + 11 = 20??? and the fact that our national emergency line is 911? just a thought...

Aug 13, 2011. 11:01 PMzoekkk says:

what does 9+11=20 have to do with it

Dec 31, 2011. 3:00 PMBigMikeDog says:

911 is the emergency line so 9+11=20 and 20 dollars is the bill that is uncanny to just be a coincidence

May 1, 2011. 11:11 AMmfontaine1 says:

Well, 911 is also Canada's emergency line, that one is just a coincidence.

Everything else probably is too though. Anyway, everyone can think what they want I guess.

and it looks like a paper plane with ouy the bottom bit :)

Jun 26, 2011. 10:23 PMctoledo1 says:

i think they made it 911 because its hard to accidentally push with a 4 by 3 number pad

Cue the conspiracy theorists.

The treasury dept tried to warn us that the other parts of the govt were going to attack the towers but no one listened. So when the other parts blamed extremists we ate it up like cake. J/K

Yellow cake...? Hmmm...guards seize him!

It's interesting there is no discussion on the image of the Vatican on the new $50 bill. If you go to foldmoney.com and scroll down and click the $50 link. You can clearly see that on the first fold, there is an image of the Vatican in flames. It not even mentioned. Sometimes it's easy to miss the obvious. ( Or, you can just get a $50 and see for yourself) Does this mean that there will be an attack on the Vatican? Who knows!

I think it means that the pope is alive but when the fire's out and the smoke stops then the pope is nope and long live the newp.

**Contrary to what it would appear, this reply isn't over a year old, it was actually typed prior to yours but you took so long to post yours I had forgotten about it until now. Pope this clears things up a little bit.

ok... first off...any 1 who thinks th government is behind 9/11 just shut up. why would we kill many of our own country, a major trading station, and then attack an innocent country. 2nd. any 1 who can figure out 9+11=20... Congrats! you can add! there all coincedences on any dollar bill.. most dont even look like anything! so rlly dont get all workd up about this. its just meant to b a cool trick to show your friends. not some secret government plot or something.

Apr 18, 2009. 12:21 AMA good name says:

No no no no no SHUT UP. 9/11 was not magically foretold 30 years before the twin towers were even built on the design for a dollar bill. If you look, those "towers" look nothing like the twin towers, so just stop. Maybe if more Americans had cared so much about political situations, rather than folding bills to tell the future, then George Bush couldn't have caused 9/11. But no you obviously have no idea what I'm talking about so just shut up.

Mar 22, 2010. 12:03 PMbored1111111 says:

yes i agree it does not look like it...BUT! th $50 bill trick actually looks like th twin towers on fire...but is a complete coincidence.

May 13, 2009. 10:32 AMwwed says:

its ok

Mar 17, 2008. 8:49 PMRjdsmith says:

You All Seem suprised, The government brought down the Twin towers. Go Watch the movie "Loose Change" on youtube, Than youll be suprised

Apr 18, 2009. 12:23 AMA good name says:

Rj, that's pathetic. That's beyond pathetic. Stop acting like the "enlightened" one after watching a video that millions of others have watched. Do more research other than just saying "Watch Loose change on youtube"

Jun 29, 2008. 9:54 AMRandomHero says:

rjdsmith, your a disgrace if you agree with that statement...

Oct 10, 2008. 9:58 AMomnibot says:

Perhaps, but I often wonder if this isn't so. My first thought on 9/11 was "Oh god, they bombed their own". Not evidence in it self ofcourse but a good indicator that something is wierd when it's the first thought I have.

Nov 24, 2008. 10:15 PMRandomHero says:

good point...

On the Australian $5 note (We have $5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 dollar notes. $2, 1, 20c, 10c, 50c, 5, coins) You can also do the twin towers. except its alot less complicated.

Oct 15, 2006. 6:04 AMharry hardcore hoedown says:

Yeah, with an Australian 5 dollar bill you can fold it to make it look like a whale doing another whale. Not the most pleasent trick, but it works. Also, supposedly UK currency can be folded to make pictures of landmarks being destroyed

Oct 17, 2006. 6:09 AM23 says:

How does the Aussie one work?

Nov 25, 2008. 2:05 AMblugyblug says:

The aussie one has a woman on the front . The top of her shirt is the "whale" and shes wearing a pearl necklace which is the "teeth" whales dont have teeth so its probably a shark. her neck is the ..other.. bit

Hmm...was it really necessary to tell us that? Are you expecting a prize or somthing?

Mar 17, 2008. 7:48 PMpuppetfunk says:

Then clearly you knew what was going to happen, and you were in cahoots with the terrorists. Expect every government agency to come busting down your door within the next week.

Mar 10, 2007. 9:39 PMThat Hurt This Time says:

I did this with a $10 and it had the same image only in reverse.

Jan 18, 2007. 12:18 AMLemon says:

FoldMoney.com has this trick and more, using all the american notes.

Dec 13, 2006. 9:17 PMKilla-X says:

I knew how to do this when i was 5 years old. I'm 15 right now :)

Dec 11, 2006. 6:09 PMthermitemaster says:

Cool man! I have been wanting how to do this forever!

Oct 27, 2006. 12:00 PMaiden120000 says:

im scared

Oct 14, 2006. 5:48 PMnak says:

Try the same thing with other sized bills, I believe it actually goes in sequence as you get larger and larger, by the time its at $50 or $100 (I dont remember) its just a whisp of smoke.
