I wish they'd put Richard Feynman on the $100 bill instead of U.S. Grant.  Grant was one of the worst presidents in history, anyway.

On a similar point, assuming there is a god who permiates all space and time, 'under god' would be correct, but 'engulfed by god' or 'swallowed by god' would be more accurate.

Or if pollution continues, it may be 'one nation, under smog'
