No. Like earthquakes.

I could tell you a story about experiencing an earthquake in New Zealand, but I won't.
However I will give you a clue. It was in the middle of the night and woke us up in our rented country cabin (we were honeymooning then).
True story and you can use your imagination to guess the punchline of this anecdote.

Sounds like when the Whitlams were visiting China (Peking?)and a major deadly earthquake occurred a few hundred miles away. One newspaper ran a cartoon showing them in their hotel bed with the punchline Did the earth move for you darling. There was outrage in some quarters that the cartoon might be offensive to the Whitlams; but they found the cartoon very funny.

If that's the punchline of the anecdote, then it's no wonder I didn't get it! That was way before my time.

Update on the fifty, wondered about the window and if that would rip as well, tried it. Just kept ripping.

Huh? Why wouldn't it? Its not a separate piece, just an area with no ink.

Some of the older versions were apparently glued in, I believe. Plus now it can't be accidently spent.

Yeah, they were the paper ones. And they were terrible. Blind Freddy wouldn't take one.

Update on the info on the dodgy plastic notes, it looks like the ink can be removed with your fingernail.
