That not creepy nor coincidance. We all know that all the American and many other countries are members of secret society. Its just any of the many plots.

Very interesting to read and speculate though. :D

I don't know if a history teacher would be able to do anything, but Snopes have a pretty good go...

I hadn't seen that, someone just emailed me the story so I thought I post it on here. It's obviously been around a bit.

Glancing down the text on the Snopes site, someone has gone to great lengths to put us right - kinda spoils the story a bit though :?
