This is kinda bizarre – a concave earth/twin tower crossover installation conceived by an artist from Amsterdam.
Are they trying to tell us something?:-)
btw in researching this I was again reminded of the fact that New York used to be known as New Amsterdam. What I hadn’t known before was this “fruity” fact: the Big Apple was also briefly known as New Orange (reflecting its Dutch Protestant roots).
Whatever reality is, it's not that.

I thought ‘Twin Towers Meme’ might be an okay place to post my slightly free-forming thoughts.
I went from seeing the Towers in the Marriot Hotel’s logo, then in the Hilton’s and then Holiday Inn – to seeing the same design in money.

I found this interesting as to the origin in Urban Dictionary:-
‘Some believe it began when the broken plane luckily landed in the Hudson River in early 2009, some Twitter user wrote a post and added #flight1549 to it. I have no idea who this person was, but somebody else would have read it and when he posted something about the incident, added #flight1549 to HIS tweet. For something like this, where tweets would have been flying fast and furiously, it wouldn’t have taken long for this hash tag to go viral and suddenly thousands of people posting about it would have added it to their tweets as well. Then, if you wanted info on the situation, you could do a search on “#flight1549” and see everything that people had written about it.’

It’s like when they gave us the Hell reference with the introduction of the telephone as we were told it was ‘Hello’ we were to say. That one spread well.
is this original? I’m coining it the ##theory

May 25, 2014 at 6:43 am #9560Carole ThomasMemberTHE ANCIENT ROOTS OF PUNCTUATION
In his new book, “Shady Characters: The Secret Life of Punctuation, Symbols & Other Typographical Marks,” Keith Houston reveals the stories behind esoteric punctuation marks, from the pilcrow (¶) to the manicule (?) to the octothorpe, a.k.a. the hashtag. Many of these have their roots in ancient Greece or Rome, and have evolved over time in Medieval religious texts, Renaissance scholarship, and modern printed works (not to mention the Internet). Here, Houston, who lives in Scotland and also runs a Shady Characters blog, tells the origin stories of some of these marks.
Octothorpe (#)
Left, from the pen of Isaac Newton; right, detail from Johann Conrad Barchusen’s “Pyrosophia” (1698). Courtesy the Othmer Library of Chemical History, Chemical Heritage Foundation.
The story of the hashtag begins sometime around the fourteenth century, with the introduction of the Latin abbreviation “lb,” for the Roman term libra pondo, or “pound weight.” Like many standard abbreviations of that period, “lb” was written with the addition of a horizontal bar, known as a tittle, or tilde (an example is shown above, right, in Johann Conrad Barchusen’s “Pyrosophia,” from 1698). And though printers commonly cast this barred abbreviation as a single character, it was the rushed pens of scribes that eventually produced the symbol’s modern form: hurriedly dashed off again and again, the barred “lb” mutated into the abstract #. The symbol shown here on the left, a barred “lb” rendered in Isaac Newton’s elegant scrawl, is a missing link, a now-extinct ancestor of the # that bridges the gap between the symbol’s Latin origins and its familiar modern form. Though it is now referred to by a number of different names—“hash mark,” “number sign,” and even “octothorpe,” a jokey appellation coined by engineers working on the Touch-Tone telephone keypad—the phrase “pound sign” can be traced to the symbol’s ancient origins. For just as “lb” came from libra, so the word “pound” is descended from pondo, making the # a descendent of the Roman term libra pondo in both name and appearance.
Whatever reality is, it's not that.

An in your face subliminal which is obviously referencing 9/11 whilst denying it.DalTampra
