Lot of Traffic Today (For This Site, Anyways) Due to Money Origami

I haven't really messed with my blog much the last couple days and today I went by to check out my sitemeter stats and was shocked to find out I'd had a little over 500 visitors today (my average is 49). Apparently tons of people were all looking for the 9/11 twenty-dollar bill tribute instructions.

Look, I'm not trying to turn this into some kind of war-profiteering or anything (not like I have any ads, anyways) but I figured if that many people were coming by looking for the link in question, I'd go ahead and post it again so they'd have an easier time finding it. Hopefully some of you will stick around and browse the rest of the site :)

Tesla Coin-Shrinking

A guy having way too much fun with a 10'' diameter tesla coil. By inducing currents of over a million amperes inside a coin, magnetic forces are created which shrink the coins to a fraction of their normal size. Neat trick :)

Warning: do not try this at home unless you really, really know your way around a tesla coil, okay?
