    Quite a coincidence  - but there are others also - as that came from the Yahoo Groups - The 20$ bill folded to show the 11.9 mishap.  


  2. I asked him, and his head exploded due to not being able to explain this.

    Looks like it'll be another substitute for class tomorrow <sigh>...

  3. WOW NEVER HEARD THIS ANYWHERE BEFORE THANKS FOR THE MIND KILLER:D

  4. Your examples are fairly common. I have heard them a number of times before. I will explain them with one word---- coincidence./

  5. Very shortly after Kennedy was shot, this was all over the place.  Yes, I heard it in like 7th grade.
