The email has photos and stuff, and it shows you how to fold a $20 dollar bill so that the front and back show the white house or the twin towers on fire. Also it points out that 9+11 = 20
Oh, and that the folded bill spells out the name of a certain president....
I'm looking for my foil hat...
I think that email is from the previous century.
Other than the part about the $20, I have seen that before.

I've actually been to Nigeria... bear with me here...I was on a school trip 5 years ago & we visited some government offices. The Minister of economic development was describing his grand vision of Nigeria becoming the next outsourcing call center hub ("we'll be bigger than India! Our English is better!" said in a very thick accent...) and he had plans to build the premier biotechnology & science innovation zone in Africa. One of my classmates raises his hand & asks if the Minister is worried that the constant barrage of Nigerian scam emails will negatively affect their international reputation & future foreign investment. The Minister, no joke, busts out laughing, slaps his hand on the table, and says "Everyone gets those emails. I get tons of those emails. My *grandmother* wouldn't be fooled by those ridiculous emails. If anyone falls for that nonsense, then shame on THEM!!" That was the best meeting we had in Nigeria...

thats true....
the actual killer was a guy named Carlos Ignacio Alphonse. some speculate that he was involved with organized crime, among other things...
All I know is Oliver Stone's JFK movie said it was someone other than Oswald. ;D
I don't think the foil hat will be sufficient... i'm going armadillo hunting
