Where’s George?">Where’s George?
Well I came across this very unusually site tonight. Not really sure how I came by it.
1.6 million people have written on US Dollar Bills:
http://www.wheresgeorge.com
The site calls itself ?Where?s George? and over the five years of
its existence, it?s become one of the Net?s most fun and unusual sites.
Users typically enter dollar bill serial numbers on the site and then
write the Web site address on bills. Then they spend the bucks, hoping
whoever gets it in change someplace sees their note ? you can write on
a dollar bill as long as it doesn?t make it unfit for circulation ? and
then goes to the site and reports on where they received it. More than
1.6 million people have entered some 49 million bills ? in various
denominations ? totaling $283 million in U.S. currency.
Bizarre but true!

This got me thinking that I could add my own “Go Vegan” message to the
bills, plus add pro-veg messages in the log entries on the site, so
that others would see them.
That would be like the movie Serendipity, in a way, if the bill end up with a veggie person..
cool thought!
