Where's George -- slamming Bush one dollar bill at a time
Edited on Tue Sep-07-04 09:13 AM by quaoar
There is this great website called Where's George. It is used to track dollar bills around the country as they are being spent.

You register a bill on the site using the serial number and then stamp the bill with the web address and a message, if you like. If someone gets it in change, they are supposed to go to the website and report it.

Why can't Where's George (Washington) also apply to Where's George (Bush).

If we all registered our dollar bills and wrote something like AWOL on them, they'd spread around like wildfire. People would go to the website and see a nessage you wrote when you registered the bill.

I've been Georging for about 9 months now.

It is a very addicting hobby. It is a great tool for learning Geography (I try to get the kids involved)

You either get it or you don't.

And here is my profile.

2. Wow
You are addicted. LOL.
I once found a bill that had been registered and when I reported it, it had originated in Hawaii. I'm in Alabama.

3. Love the 'When W Goes Home' song.
Really well done. Hadn't heard it before.

My son brought home a where's George? bill a week or so ago. We looked up the site and entered its movement.
