Here's an interesting entry from the book Why You Say It by Webb Garrison

Pipe Dream

Should you come up with a really novel idea or plan, chances are that those who first hear of it will pooh-pooh it as a "pipe dream."

In its earliest decades, the pipe dream was so far out that it seldom made contact with reality. That's because it was produced by opium, brought to England and Europe by merchants who penetrated the Orient and began peddling the stuff yielded by some kinds of poppies.

Pipe dreams influenced several notable literary figures, with Samuel T. Coleridge being high on the list. But by and large, fantasies produced by opium were that and nothing more.

Found this when I was looking at other spaces.

Quote

20 Dollar Bill

WHO figured this out? This is very interesting.

1. Fold a NEW PINK $20 bill in half.

2. Fold again, taking care to fold it exactly as below.

3. Fold the other end exactly as before.

4. Now, simply turn it over.

What a coincidence! A simple geometric fold creates a catastrophic premonition printed on all $20 dollar bills.

Is it a coincidence? You decide...

Here is what you've seen so far:

Firstly, the Pentagon on fire.



Then, the Twin Towers.



And now, have a look at this:



Triple coincidence on a simple $20 dollar bill.

And if that's not enough, 9+11=20.

This was simply way too interesting, coincidental and certainly STRANGE enough to not share this with you.

What are your thoughts?

Peace and Love, Lori
