Post Dumbest. Shirt. Ever.
My dad frequently wears a t-shirt featuring a dollar bill with the words "In God We Trust" underlined. On top it says in big green words, "MAYBE OUR FOREFATHERS HAD SOMETHING THERE".

Uh... am I missing something here? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

Looks at "In God We Trust" on dollar bill. (Well, the part where it would be -- it's blacked out on all of my dollar bills .)

Looks to the left and a little down (under the pyramid) and sees "NOVUS ORDO SECULORUM".

And I'll bet that was there before the 1950s.

Great... now I need two markers, the big black for god editing and a highlighter for the newly pointed out phrase...

Only if you don't know an adjective from a genitive plural noun. It's New Order of the Ages
