It is physically impossible to tear a US $20 bill after it has been folded in half twice.

Is it? I read this somewhere so can someone try it for me as I live in England and do not have $20 around.

The preceding statement is true. The word gullible is also not found in the Webster's Dictionary.

If you are a decent to hot looking girl and you send your pics to me, ScottyB, your breasts will grow to the size you want and you will become a virgin again (if applicable).

It is true, but not if those folds are done while trying to see a picture of the World Trade Towers or Pentagon. ;)

SORRY guys read the rest of the article that had 45 facts and they were all BS well some and some were true.

They were seeing how long it took the facts to come back to them in an email fwd so sorry for that. I didn't know until I read further down which was many many posts later.

I will post up the rest of the facts for a laugh tomorrow night:D

No, no!
It works fine on a $1 bill, but there is no way can you tear a $20. Try it!

He's right you know! In fact, the higher value on the bill, the more likely you won't be able to tear it. Don't believe me? Try it on a $100 bill. It won't tear at all.

If course it's physically possible. I mean even if you have to apply billions of Newtons on it it's still physically possible......

That is because the higher the value the less you want to tear it.

Let me try. Yep, it tears. I heard that Australian money is untearable by human hands, however.

I find it physically impossible to tear a $20, $10, $5, or even a $1 bill under any circumstance.
