Someone told me about this, and it works. I did a search on it here, and nothing came up.

If you start up Notepad, and type in, "Bush hid the facts", without the quotes, of course, and then save it under any name to desktop. Click it to open it again, and what you get is all gobbligook. Weird.


Sorry if it has been mentioned here before.

The main question is of course, why?

You're right, Moniker, that one worked, too. Though I didn't get that big rocker picture that it seemed that you did.

Can you give any intelligence to the main question?

I fully expected that this was a gag, but I figured I'd give it a shot. I got exactly the same Chinese characters as SoulEdge did... :confused:

I am as flummoxed to the logic behind it as anyone else.

Heroin is 6 letters. Not 5. 6.

I actually did crank, but i was reading an article on heroin and that slipped out. Nevertheless I retried it and it works.

Aw, Bookrat, why would you think that a post by me would be a gag?

And thank you, DarkLight, for the reason why it happens.
