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

Windows 7 has ~60 million lines of code.

Windows 7

There is a reference to the Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol accessible by the run command; a fictional protocol for controlling, monitoring, and diagnosing coffee pots designed as an April Fools joke. Listed amongst prerecorded locations is coffee:get which, according to its creator, "Retrieves coffee from the HTCPCP server." Running the coffee:get command results in an error, as windows does not understand the coffee: URI. This is the final reference to HTCPCP, as most others have been removed. HTTP Status Code 418, for example, no longer responds with "The HTCPCP server is a teapot; the responding entity may be short and stout."

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. …..

That's just because the corresponding characters in the Windings font are mapped to those characters. Whether this is deliberate or not, I'm not sure. It might well be.

Whether this is deliberate or not, I'm not sure. It might well be.

The WingDings font pre-dates 2001 by quite a while, but I'd have no idea if it has been changed or updated since it's inception.

"Q33N" on Wingdings2 & 3 fonts:

1) "Please don't hurt my rubbish cans" 2) "I love you but please, stop turning, spinning on yourself"
