Open Notepad.
Type in a new file:
Bush hid the facts
Save the file.
Close it.
Re-open it.

Woah!

Why did it do that?

that's not all it did A... on April 1st next year you will see the other thing you just did...

:)

Not sure if you want to fool me - I really tried it. It isn't april the 1st, is it? well if you're serious and there's something strange going on - it wasn't happening on my ol machine.
So what happened?

what the fugeebus....

hahahahaaah i was just kiddding... but seriously, next time you do read a message like this... and want to follow the instructions and do something like you just did.... stop for a second and think...

Funky...

So come on...what's the go with this?

It only works if you type it, not cut/paste.

So is there really something special? What?!?

It's just a notepad bug. Replace the phrase "Bush hid the facts" with any phrase which has the same number of letters in each word and you get the same result.

For example, try : "Mark has two heads" ( Same result, right? )

Hehe, funky :) It only worked once though.

jfk: it displays some chinese or japanese mumbo jumbo

I've become very frightened now. Can I sleep at someone's house tonight?

lol

that's nutty!

Weird!!! :)

It tries to open it as Unicode, hence the cockup.


Whats wierd is when you re-open notepad and click open, it's already gone to Unicode o.O

Awesome.

Interesting, but it does not happen when you save the file as unicode file in the first place.

Anyone else not going to go to sleep tonight?

But why does it happen - what's so special about a 4-letter 3-letter 3-letter & 4-letter word combination that would cause notepad to behave like that?

If it were 1-3-3-7 it would make more sence...but this is just bizzare.

this is what i got:

Confirmed here.
Tooooo weird!

It's just Microsofts buggy software, it's well documented.

It sure is a bug - but what must one have done to get it to behave in that manner?

I don't know how much longer I can stay awake

"puki", try some expresso beans. They'll help keep you awake.
