Re: FIRST money
 

Interesting idea of writing team numbers on bills. I've gotten a lot with the "Where's George" stamped on them. The only thing I'm not sure of is how would you know for instance that "237" written on the bill is in reference to the FIRST team and not "237" meaning something else without some other reference to FIRST on the bill?

Re: FIRST money
 

we would have to come up with some signal to indicate that it is in reference to FIRST. how about drawing the FIRST logo above the number?

another thought... if we get enough people to start doing this, not only would it be cool to see several team #s on one bill, but it may spark interest and media coverage for FIRST. i can just imagine the article in the New York Times... "Been noticing numbers on your money with a triangle, circle, and square logo above them? This is the signature of people involved in a robotics competition known as FIRST. FIRST is..." and it can go on and on from there if everybody in FIRST started doing this, the competition would be known by most of the population within a few years :cool:

<edit> OK... so afflictionblade beat me to the punch... but here is my elaboration on his concept! </>

Where's George is a whole lot of fun!

Why don't we change this into "Where's FIRST" everybody draws the Triangle-Circle-Square on bills (double points if you do it in color!). Then, since we have enough techie brain's here... create a subset of delphi to be something like chiefdelphi.com/wheresfirst/ and we can start the great big FIRST bill collection!

It is now quite obvious to me that it is the intention of certain members of this Forum are now seeking to destablize the American economy by printing fake money and instituting a shadow currency. This is obviously a NWO conspiracy instigated by the trilateral commission and the Satanic Illuminati.

I shall report you promptly to the American treasury department and Secret Service (if there aren't in on the conspiracy...)

Are you serious or just screwing around? I can't tell.

Re: FIRST money
 

I'm going to report you to the nearest mental hospital, and to the DoF (If you want to know what that acronym I made up stands for, it's not appropriate for the boards. IM or PM me.)

You're the biggest idiot I've ever seen on here. Is it your mission to make people hate you? Unfortunately I havent given 15 people rep since I last negative rep'd you, or I'd do it again!

Re: FIRST money
 

Whoa, nelly! Lemme see if I can find my quote...

Did I mention fake money? You bet your boots. Did I say someone was gonna print fake money? Heavens no.

And I should also point out that the US Government allows other currencies to be created, as long as there are taxes paid on it and yadda yadda yadda. (Don't know which law it is, though.) Whether that fits your shadow currency thing is unknown, but it could be done legally.

I'd go further, but I have to get ready for work.

...just one other thing...what trilateral commission? I mean, the only trilateral anything I know about are the three branches of government (judicial, legislative, and executive) and the triangle in the FIRST logo. Take your pick.

Your buddy Howard Dean can tell you whats going on man. He knows the score!

Re: FIRST money
 

-_- Well, back on topic now..

Re: FIRST money
 

I think it's a great Idea, I just hope my hand dosen't cramp from writing 492 on every bill I own.

Re: FIRST money
 

I'm all for this. In fact, I would start writing on my bills right now, except they're still wet from when I was thrown into a pool yesterday(with cell phone in pocket :ahh: ). One question...would this just be on ones, or would it be for all forms of paper currency? Also, who is going to host the where's george section of Chief Delphi? I'm not experience with php/mysql, so I know that I can't do it...

Re: FIRST money
 

I thought about this when I first had the idea. I didn't do it, incase someone (government, certain people) does get angry about it. If the logo is on the bill, it is an obvious tie to FIRST. If it's just a number, it's harder to tie it back to FIRST.
I wanted to keep FIRST, as an orginization, out of it since they're not doing it.
As long as everyone does it in the same place (upper left corner on the face) then we should be able to know what it signifies.

Re: FIRST money
 

How about simply putting something like T25, or T1089, etc, just a T before your team number...would that make sense?

Re: FIRST money
 

Bean reading Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons" have you? If so, you got your facts wrong. If not, read it to get your facts straight. The current US currency is the one with the Illuminati symbol (the pyramid with the shining eye above it) and the Illuminati were not "Satanic" by what we would call them now. And, of course, the Latin below the Illuminati symbol on the US currency means New Secular Order. And a few dollar bills with numbers written on them are not going to destabilize the American economy, and it is not the printing of fake money or "shadow currency". You really do need to get your facts straight.

And if SS and Treasurey Department are conspiring with a few high schoolers to write 3 or 4 digits on a peice of paper, then US currency is being spent on the wrong things anyways.

I think something like that would work. Of course, we need to standardize this before our "quest for world domination through the deestablishment of US currency begins Phase 1" :rolleyes:

<tangent>
The vagueness in your response has led me to make an educated guess based on your previous posts on these forums (lots of neo-fascist propaganda, and claiming that Bill O’Reilly is a populist) that this was some sort of lame dig at my liberal tendencies? If so, please try a little harder or be more creative next time, because it wasn’t a very effective one.

So yeah... Are you serious or just screwing around?
