Playing with money
Have you ever found a bill with "Where's George?" stamped on it? You can go to wheresgeorge.com, enter in the serial number, and see where the bill has traveled. In my four or five years of looking out for these bills, I've only found three and all of them were at the same farmer's market in Mountain View, California. It's probably another nerd like me marking them up who also likes heirloom tomatoes. Too bad I already have a girlfriend, or I would try to track down this cool person. (Hopefully, it would be a good looking female that wouldn't accuse me of stalking like that last time. But I digress).
A small site that shows pictures of money with funny stuff written on them is Stuff People Write on Money. I dunno, I think I could've done this in 2nd grade:
Ugly Money has a little bit better artwork. And when I say a little better, well, judge for yourself:
I mean, Gene Simmons' tongue is not that long. Just terrible. Can't really say anything bad about the colors, though.
The best site of this bunch is the one that shows you how to fold your money into shapes like snakes on planes. Well, actually, I couldn't find a picture of a plane, just a sailboat. It's money origami! Or as I like to call it, Origamoni. Also, Monigamey. Either one works, really.
Also, do you know the trick about putting a penny on a train track? Maybe I'll save those details for a future entry.
