Counterfeit bills have shown up in some stores in Dallas
Dallas police are investigating a number of cases in which people have used counterfeit bills. A spokeswoman said that using counterfeit bills was prevalent in the late '80s and is now making a comeback, having surfaced at a pizza place, sandwich shop, check cashing spot, and Wilson's Shell gas station on Kiest Boulevard where a child recently tried to use a counterfeit $5 bill that the owner said felt like "notebook paper".

Counterfiet money, again!? Prevalant in the late '80s, yes, that is when copy machines really changed and became color copiers as well. People were copying dollar bills at the office and used them at local car-wash changers to steal quarters. Sadly! Then the digital revolution hit in the 1990's and you could copy anything and it would be just like the original. BUT thanks to law enforcement those new copiers had software addded to prevent document scams and watermarks on copy paper.

Tumbles, you are too kind. Plain vanilla Photoshop. Sometimes I have to resort to Gimp, but its concept of alpha planes, though mathematically more correct, drives me flat out buggy.
I like pixels.

I'm hurt that you even ask such a question, Alex.
Perhaps it’s because orangutans share 97% of their DNA with humans, while Travis is only somewhere around %50. We think anyway... ;-)

And frankly, it's even less nice than that. Truth be told it ain't "shared" at all. He borrowed it and then didn't give it back. Just sayin'...

Even though you have shown your true colors, Jason, I'll have to give you props on the chop job. The sad thing is, that no matter how much you photoshop, jtmbls never gets any less hideous...poor thing never did evolve right..
