1. Open notepad
2. Type "Bush hid the facts" (minus the quotes) 3. Save it as whatever you want 4. Close it then re-open it 5. WTF? I have no explanation of this other than some sort of conspiracy is going on. With my tests I've discovered that you can't substitute another name for Bush and still have it work. The B in Bush can be capitalized or uncapitalized. It doesn't work with a period on the end. |

If you have the chinese characters installed they show up as random words in chinese.
It is just the group of characters and spaces that causes that. Article Here Sorry to ruin your fun lance. |

Article Here Sorry to ruin your fun lance. A notepad programmer could easily sabotage the function IsTextUnicode() in order to make notepad produce these results. My theory is that an anti-bush programmer at Microsoft included this "bug" as a little easter egg. |

The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?

From what I've heard, it's a bug in notepad that happens when you use any 4 letter word, then two 3 letter words, and a 5 letter word.
Course I don't use a PC, so I don't have any way to test this for accuracy. -------------------- Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!
