Paranoid origami

Just when you thought Palestinian Arabs couldn't get any more paranoid...

A Palestinian shows how a folded twenty dollar bill appears to show the World Trade Center buildings on fire.

We know that Arab propaganda holds that (i) Jews were behind 9/11 and (ii) Jews dominate the world through money, but who knew they were prescient enough to promote 9/11 on the money three years before it even happened? That's some amazing planning right there.

I don't understand why paranoid anti-Semitism of the conspiratorial bent doesn't inspire more emulation, or at least sucking up. If I believed that any group were this powerful, I would want to figure out how I could become friends with them, or at least do what they do.

BONUS!: Instructions!

There are soooo many ways I could take this... most of them inappropriate.

I think that's the Iranian printed $20. It's looks like it got a diffent texture from the North Korean. Is that a Gaza/Hamas pic? If so it could be Mad Money Dollars printed with the HairyBollahs gifts.

This is actually a pretty old trick. I remember just after 9/11 a 10 year old boy in Lansing, Michigan showed this (and a few other nifty dollar tricks) to me. There's a Pentagon one, too.

Yeah, I know it's an old trick. It is interesting that AFP photographed a Palestinian doing it, though, instead of a 5th grader from Lansing.

The Palestinian learned it from a 5th grader in Dearborn, though.
