[QUOTE=schickel;240908]I think the problem is that the bills have to be pulled flat to see the ink voids.[/QUOTE]Automated scanning could detect whether a sheet is folded by measuring the outer dimensions, even if it couldn't detect the fold itself (which wouldn't really be all that difficult).

[quote]It really depends on how much pressure has to be applied to each bill to lay it flat to check and how hard it would be to recognize the viods.[/quote]No, because it's not necessary to pull it flat to detect a fold; the smaller (or larger, depending on circumstances) outer dimension of the image on a folded sheet would be easily detectable by an automated scanner.

Found this a little revealing about math. Kinda sad more than laughable.

[QUOTE]No, this is not the punch line of a joke. A Pew Research Center Poll from July 2009 showed that only around [SPOILER]6[/SPOILER] percent of U.S. scientists are Republicans; [SPOILER]55[/SPOILER] percent are Democrats, [SPOILER]32[/SPOILER] percent are independent, and the rest "don't know" their affiliation.[/QUOTE][url]http://www.slate.com/id/2277104/[/url]
There is no take-away message...just <argh> WTF! </argh>

This one scares me! Though I'm not surprised, The doctors I've gone to I can seem to talk in their medical tongue most times.

glad the cat did it and not me lol.

I have a story about a cat up a tree. For those sensitive the cat gets injured.

[SPOILER]There was a cat stuck up a tree at the back of our house some years ago and eventually the fire brigade agreed to come out. So four firemen stood at the bottom holding a big blanket while another went up a ladder and poked the cat with a stick.

The cat missed the blanket. I think it broke its leg but recovered okay. It was as much as the firemen could do to not laugh.

I'm saying nothing.[/SPOILER]

[QUOTE=Flatlander;241956]I have a story about a cat up a tree. For those sensitive the cat gets injured.[/QUOTE]It's a complete WOMBAT rescuing cats from trees. Cats are perfectly capable of getting themselves down from trees. All they require is a sufficient incentive, such as not getting their KittyNosh for a day or two. In the case you report, I'm certain it would have come down by itself uninjured if possibly somewhat thinner.

Face it: how often do you see the corpse of a cat dead from starvation wedged in the branches of a tree?

FWIW, I've been living with cats for a long time now and currently have four in residence.
