This might be a bit late in terms of the incident, but i got one of those chain emails from a friend of mine. Here's what you do:

Open a new word Microsoft Word.
Type in Capitals 'Q33NY', the number of the flight that crashed in New York on September 11.
Then change font size to 26.
Then change font to Wingdings.
See what Happens.

Freaky!

Some1 tell me what happens so I dont have to open Word...

... except that the numbers and letters Q33NY have absolutely nothing to do with September 11th.

Although typing the characters "Q33NY" using the Wingdings font does produce the string of images shown below (an airplane, two pieces of paper that sort of resemble buildings, a skull and crossbones, and a Star of David), there was no flight "Q33NY" involved in the terrorist attack on New York City (the two flights who planes were crashed into the building were American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175), nor does that string correspond to any airplane's tail number or any airline's flight number.

The numerous suggestions about what 'Q33' really does refer to (everything from a New York bus route to a verse from the Quran) merely highlight how easy it is to find significance in anything, meaningful or not.

Actually, what's even better than that, is going to google, and typing in 'weapons of mass destruction', then clicking 'I'm feeling lucky'. I'm not sure how old this gag is, but I just did it for the first time. Funny, but stupid.

Sorry for stealing the thunder, but yours is so old

"I before E except after C" - good idea, but not actually correct.

Yes, WEIRD it is.

Hehe ... yeah nothing coincidental or freaky about it.

Its like having instructions that say "get a piece of paper. then write '2 airplanes hijacked crash into world trade centre'. Then read what you wrote. FREAKY!!

Is there a fact sheet that someone's got squirrelled away, ready to hand out to new arrivals? You got here 10 days ago! That is ALSO freaky!

Did you know that if you take an ordinary calculator and type in 71077345, it says "ShellOil".. freaky!!!

Sheesh.

How gullible are so many people?

 

[Streaker]

Open a Word document and type =rand(200,99)

Press Enter and wait 3 seconds...
