    Shark selfies are especially dangerous.

    Good luck, money counterfeiters, on making those plates.

    @TEMPLO—-In the recent past, the latest high tech laser copy machines have come close to matching bills made with plates, but lacked matching the proper paper, that bills are printed on.

    I wonder how many times a mint engraver has nearly finished a plate, & made a slip with the tool, or discovered an error.

    I know preppers who are hoarding gold. So the world goes to hell in a handbasket. I got food and tools. The prepper brings me gold to trade for food and tools? No way.Going off the gold and silver standard was a good thing. Now the worth of monies of the world can actually be measured by the economic strength of the country. The value of any currency is reflected on the buying and selling of that currency on the Futures and Commodities markets. You, too, can become a capitalist/investor. All it takes is $5,000 as a deposit with a broker and you can trade commodities. Some countries now base their currency on the US dollar.And no, the government doesn’t just “print money”. The money in circulation is only one aspect of what is called “money.” Money is created in several ways.Anyway Ameiricans own over 50 percent of the national debt. Your credit cards, your mortgage, you car and boat you have financed, all are included in the national debt.China owns a whopping 5 percent of the US national debt, Mexico only owns a measly 7 percent.

    “Bloodhounds are the only animal….” NONSENSE! Human testimony is taken in court. WE are animals, too.

    As of June, the latest stat I saw there were six shark related deaths, last year there were only five, the year before 10. I would suspect nearly anything else is going to be higher than shark deaths, so selfie death is no surprise, believe it or not.

    On the selfies section of the strip, I think this is called culling the herd.

    No animal can be called: Who. That is reserved for people.

    Prof: I believe that the current “page” can be removed from the scroll and replaced by a corrected one in many cases.

    The “page” is quite large, but it beats tossing the whole scroll – it’s stitched in place.
