Well, I know that in XP if you went into Notepad and typed "Bush hid the facts", saved it as with any name, and then re-opened it, the text would be changed to square characters. Not sure if it works in 7.

EDIT: Not in 7

I tried it and it does do this ... very weird.

Here is one that works on WIn 7 and probably any Windows OS that has notepad.

One of the planes that hit one of the two WTC towers on 9/11 was Q33N.
Type that flight number 'Q33N' in notepad. Increase the font size to 72. Change the font to Wingdings.

I had to at least do a little research to find out if Q33N really was a number used by one of the planes.

However, that Bush hid the facts thing is pretty neat. I'm going to try some other combinations and see what comes of this.

Q33N is supposedly a flight number, not a number on either of the planes. Interesting stuff though. I especially like the "I Heart My Dog's Head" link.
