"Queer" meaning, strange or off-color..since we don't have a three dollar demomination in US Currency, it would be concidered odd.\n\n\nTO SEE A MAN ABOUT A DOG (OR HORSE) - "Although in the late nineteenth century, to 'see a man about a dog' meant to visit a woman for sexual purposes, it now means to go to the bathroom. It is, of course, a traditional answer to the questions Where are you going or What's your destination? The variations on these expressions are endless and include: Go see a dog about a horse, go and see a dog about a man, go and shoot a dog, go and feed a dog, go and feed the goldfish, go and mail a letter and go to one's private office." From the "The Wordsworth Book of Euphemism" by Judith S. Neaman and Carole G. Silver (Wordsworth Editions, Hertfordshire, 1995).\n\nAnd on an old blues recording I have, the performer said he had to "go see a man about a horse" and he meant he was going to go do some drugs. A little play on "horse" for heroin.

an owl\n\nFew things in this life have held the attention of Man as successfully as that of a good mystery. How many times did we, as young people, pick up a "Hardy Boys" mystery or try to unravel the intricate web of mysterious, unexplainable clues with which Sherlock Holmes had to deal? And yet, for over two hundred years, one of the greatest mysteries, of all time, has been staring us in the face. We wrestle with this mystery every day of our lives without so much as giving it a passing thought. With its majestic wings mightily spread, I am referring to the great seals of the United States found on the back side of the one dollar bill of United States Currency. \n\n\nBefore we continue to address this topic any further, it would be in your interest to physically get a one dollar bill and follow along with the illustrations found in this chapter in order that you get the 'big picture'. \n\n\nLooking directly at the back side of the one dollar bill you now hold, you can plainly see that it has two distinct seals between the four number 1's and the four 'one' words spelled out. \n\n\nHow did these two 'great' seals originate? Well, I know three stories dealing with its origins. The first one tells of how Thomas Jefferson, a Mason; Benjamin Franklin, a Rosicrucian; and John Adams, also a Mason, were commissioned, on July 4, 1776, to design these seals. \n\n\nThis is the historical aspect. \n\n\nThe second story relates that these three patriots were given the design by "illuminated" Masons. The third story holds that, while trying to design this seal in his home, on June 17, 1782, Thomas Jefferson was suddenly approached by a "being", cloaked in black. The "being" allegedly presented Jefferson with a red velvet bag which contained two plaques. Turning around, the "being" walked into Jefferson's garden and mysteriously vanished. \n\n\nThe two plaques that were in the red velvet bag were the two Great Seals of the United States. I, personally, agree with the latter story. As you continue in this chapter, you will realize that these seals are too brilliantly put together that it had to be demonically-inspired by Satan. Whichever story 'you' believe, one outstanding fact remains unchanged; these seals were not to inaugurate the Declaration of Freedom, but were designed as a tribute to a 'new world order' that would take over the Thirteen Colonies of the United States. \n\n\nIt was on May 1, 1776, when Dr. Adam Weishaupt founded the Bavarian Order of the Illuminati. Weishaupt was a Professor of Jewish Canon Law at the University of Ingolstadt in Bavaria, Germany. He was born a Jew and later converted to Roman Catholicism. A former Jesuit Priest, he left the order to form his own organization. It was Weishaupt's belief that only a chosen few had enough "illumination" to guide and rule the world. The problem was simply this: where would he find these few intellectual "lightbearers?" Subsequently, he found them in various lodges and orders of the day. He infiltrated the Jesuit Order, the Masonic lodges, the Rosicrucian Order and other orders of antiquity. But, all this didn't happen without reprisal. Many lodges and orders that had been infiltrated virtually warned Weishaupt to discontinue his activities. Fortunately for Weishaupt, Thomas Jefferson, in 1784, had recently been named the United States Ambassador to France. Jefferson, a Mason, favored Weishaupt's 'new order' and came to his aid. The 'new order' was now guaranteed to continue and it eventually became known as the "Order of the Illuminati." \n\n\nAs their founder continued to expand the ranks and membership, two major events transpired; five years after he was named Ambassador to France, Thomas Jefferson returned home to become Secretary of State. Shortly after his arrival, on September 15, 1789, the United States Congre

First thank you mpltmiller, we as a Country owe you a huge debt for the time, danger and just general horribleness that I can't even imagine, and I mean that with all my heart.  My dad was an American pilot in WWII; He earned a purple Heart and the Silver Star Medal.My guess is what you're seeing is a generation who doesn't realize the REAL value in these "tokens", because they are not tokens, they are symbols of gratitude and freedom and life\nthat we bestow on our heroes.  I would find it hard to believe that someone who was bestowed such an honor would go on Ebay for a couple of bucks. So it's either knockoffs or some poor ignorant, mentally challenged fool who inherited them or got them through illegal ways

This is an idiotic question.  Why should we put a chicken on the dollar bill?  What has it done for us?  I think that Benjamin Franklin's question of whether or not the national symbol should be the turkey instead of the eagle was a better question.  No, we should not put the chicken on the dollar bill, but we should coin a phrase for a stupid yet entertaining question and put your picture next to it in the dictionary... holding a chicken and a dollar bill.

Actually, we don't have all presidents on our currency.\n\nWe have Hamilton (secretary of the treasury) on the $10, Franklin (postmaster general) on the $100, Sacagewea (indian guide for lewis & clark) on the $1 coin and Susan B Anthony (feminist) on the $1 coin.\n\nOn previous issues of currency, there was also Salmon P. Chase on some high denomination bill ($100,000 or something).\n\nOn specie, we've had buffalos, Indians and Eagles on different coins.

I think it is an inaccurate depiction,to say the least.It seems everything in our culture has to be adjusted to the "politically correct" gay standard, including marriage,television,advertising, music, art,even cowboy movies.John Wayne is probably rolling over in his grave.

"Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, an honest lawyer and an old drunk are walking down the street together when they simultaneously spot a hundred dollar bill. Who gets it? The old drunk, of course, the other three are mythological creatures." \n      \n      So they don't exist is what I am trying to say!!

I can't walk up to your dad and say that to him, but I can say online- Goths and rockstars are not all gay. Some are of course, but that doesn't mean all are. Although neither are nice goals to reach for. But be respectful to your dad, he's only trying to protect you from being a total washout/dead.

I hardly think that cowboys or ranch owners in Wyoming in the 60's knew a Shakespere reference.  I think it was more of a reference to a male homosexual act.

incredibly interesting.. never heard it though - i really haven't studied the koran as much as i'd like. \nthe beak - could be the pheonix or the eagle\ni think before 1751 on the american dollar, we had an eagle who looked more like a pheonix, and by many people it was one.\nis alot of masonic symbol crap that has me thinking lately. why do we have 13 stars on coins? it's been a LONG time since we had 13 states. who in the world came up with the idea of putting the eye of ra on the dollar? of the latin? masonic symbols are EVERYWHERE! SG1 uses 'em slightly in the command center on the wall... Legend of Zoro was very cool; it showed a conspiracy about the 'knights of aaragon' (templars/masons).. and if you still the pages of the open book - its got mason picture symbols.... lets see.. Jehovas witnesses & mormons were made by masonry - i have proof of that.. but i'm a little off subject. im me as you like

Larry has far too much money - now we'll sort it out!\n\nApart from the total, there are 2 pieces of information.\n\nThe total nunber of bills and the comparison between $5s and $10s ( I shall use English nomenclature and say fivers and tenners to describe these bills - and singles for $1)\n\nThe only way you can use the total number of bills to make an impact on the question is by trial and error, so let's concentrate on the comparison first.\n\nThat's another way of saying let's make an equation relating fivers and tenners.\n\nLet f be the number of fivers\n\nThere are f + 25 tenners\n\nThe number of singles is what you have left from the 135 bills when you have taken away all the fivers and tenners\n\nso the number of singles is 135 - [f + (f + 25)]\n\nsimplifying the square brackets, which contain the number of fivers and tenners,\n\nnumber of singles is 135 -2f -25\n\nnumber of singles is 110-2f.\n\nThere was a secondary reason for giving these notes funny names; I want you to be clear about the difference between a fiver (just one piece of paper which happens to be worth $5) and $5\n\nThere are f fivers\nThere are f + 25 tenners\nThere are 110 - 2f singles...........(all of these numbers refer to bits of paper)\n\nNow we are going to assign values to these bits of paper and equate the values times how many bits of paper there are to Larry's riches.\n\nImagine he has separated his bills into piles of the different values.\n\nHe has 5 times f $ in fivers\n\nHe has 10 times (f + 25) $ in tenners\n\nHe has 110 - 2f $ in singles\n\n\nHe has 5f + 10f + 250 + 110 -2f  in the three kinds of bill.\n\nIf you look back at the question, you know he has $776 \n\nso....\n\n5f + 10f + 250 + 110 - 2f = 776\n\ncollect the fs on one side and the numbers\n\n13f = 416\n\nf = 32\n\nLarry has 32 fivers, 32+25 (=57 tenners) and (135 - 57 -32) singles\n\nHe has 32 fivers, 57 tenners and 46 singles\n\nWe've earned a tea/coffee break!  If you want to gild the lily (and check my arithmetic) multiply the values by the number of bills and check it really does come to $776
