Dave and I have brainstormed the fact that most items can be 'microwaved' to fry the 'rfid' chip, thus elimination of tracking by our government.

So we chose to 'microwave' our cash, over $1000 in twenties in a stack, not spread out on a carasoul. Do you know what exploded on American money?? The right eye of Andrew Jackson on the new twenty, every bill was uniform in it's burning... Isnt that interesting?

Hmmmmmm

*was hoping it was Michael or La Toya or at least an exploding wardrobe malfunction.

You were hoping for a Michael Jackson wardrobe malfunction???

umm... If they go to the bank to replace the 20s, then they will have chips in their bills again. All would have been for naught.

I seemed to have missed the underlying point in having chipped cash in the first place.

Nothing like having another 50 million dollar government trinket foiled with a 2 cent countermeasure... or should I say 'de-foiled'.

Y'know, putting a pin through the eye would destroy it, without damaging the bill.

That urban legend still floating around?

There are no chips in the cash. The thing that "exploded" was, most likely, the copper in the ink on the watermark. Using rfid tags is prohibitively expensive, and the US government is extremely cheap. Unless it's for the defense department.

So just how comfortable are those $15,000 toilet seats?

It did smell a wee bit like a chartreuse herring.

Quite uncomfortable... but they will still be servicable even though the building around it collapses and no one is left alive to use them.

And we'll all go to our deaths more fulfilled knowing that, won't we.
