$20 Dollar Osama
9 + 11 = 20, as in the $20 bill!

“So?” That’s what I said. Someone sent me some facts about the number “40″ that I had never considered before. You know - 40 days and 40 nights, Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves, 40 winks, etcetera. So I posted a bit about numerology at “Life Begins at Forty”. Now, consider this about the half of 40, which is “20″.

Does the new U.S. $20 Dollar Bill show hidden pictures of the Twin Towers and the Pentagon attacks?

It is a wee bit “creepy” to be shown that the United States $20 bill includes the road-map to the bombings of the Pentagon and the New York Twin Towers on September 11th. Perhaps someone has too much time on his/her hands, or perhaps it is just another one of those unexplained mysteries of life and death.

The Netlore Archive of “About.com” explains it as “Doomsday on a $20 Bill”, then goes on to reveal that if you use your imagination, the images formed by folding any new U.S. bills beginning with the $5 and ending with $100 produces a chronological vignette of the World Trade Center disaster. WOW! Who knew? They describe the feat as just another one of those incredible origami tricks. And spooky too, as we see that the name of our number one enemy is in plain sight on the $20 greenback.

Whatever! We will file this one under “Apocrypha Now!” - the sightings, notes and updates. Check out “Cao’s Blog” for an instruction manual as to how you too can perform this mysterious folding map of doom trick on the new $20 bill. However, all of these demonstrations have skipped over the most mystical fold of all - folded down the middle lengthwise, with a few more diagonal folds, that $20 dollar bill becomes a flying missile - a paper airplane!
