Freakin' cool! (and possibly offensive)

Here's the fun one that everyone will like. Anyone with Windows 98 or better should have the ability to do this:

Open your favorite word processing program, such as Word, Works, or Wordpad (Notepad won't do). Type in the letters "NYC" without the quotes, of course. I suggest a large sized font. Now, highlight these letters and and change the font to WEBDINGS. Kinda cool, ain't it?














Now, try changing the font to Wingdings. That's wicked. Don't blame me, blame Ian Patterson.

Whooooa, thats interesting...

[TamaPlaya]

Hmm... very interesting.

[Flip540]

wow...did you figure that out yourself?

[Flamebo]

Nah, I'm not that slick...

Just something I remembered and figured I'd post here in the OT forum.

If you do the same thing with Q33 NY you get a plane, two files icons (tower), the skull/crossbones, and the star of david.

Q33 i guess was one of the flight numbers?

Anyway - all of this is just observations of randomness. If you look hard enough you can find meaning and truth and patterns in nearly anything. Look at Nostrodomus - only about 10% of his predictions are true - but he wrote thousands of them and he has had 500 years for SOME of them to come true.

I could give you and ESP test and you should get a percentage of them right just due to chance.

So - dont get spooked - coincedence and random patterns are everywhere.

In Win ME Office 2000 premium on word it has a picture of and eye, then a heart, then a city skyline. If you don't understand it says "eye love city(New York)".

Q33 hoax

It's not one of the flight numbers. There are no "Q" flight numbers to my knowledge, and none of the 4 flights were #33. They were all AA and UA flights...

Apparently, the towers were on something like Queen 33rd street or something. That's what I heard...I saw this a while ago somewhere...it spooked me out bigtime.

[Flamebo]

No, the official name for the street was "World Trade Center". H-O-A-X

As someone who lives right next to Manhatten, and who goes there quite often, and spends many a weekend in downtown, I'll let you know that the WTC is a good 40+ blocks away from 33rd street. There are no numbered streets in the lower tip of manhatten. The numbered streets start at First Street on the east side of the village. If you look at a map of the city, Bleecker Street is the western end of what is First Street on the east side, if I am remembering correctly.

In any case, the WTC was a good many blocks down from there, where the streets are named, not numbered.
