	In Response To: kinda off-topic but interesting nonetheless (Jonathan Bahamon) Wow, cool! I tried it in Simple Text and it worked. : this is kinda off-topic, i know, but i found it very interesting, as it : opened up a whole new world of investigation for me. : one of my father's patients (he's a neurologist) told him to do this. He told : my father to go into Microsoft Word and type in exactly as follows: Q 33 : NY : (put spaces between the q and 33 and ny. Capitalize all the letters). then : increase the type size to 72. then highlight the text and change the font : type to Wingdings (NOT Webdings). : Eerie, isn't it? : My father's patient said that "Q 33" was the flight number of one : of the planes that crashed into the WTC two weeks ago. "NY" was : the point of destination, obviously. Can anyone confirm these numbers? : While interesting, it would be even more so if someone could verify it. : This kind of screwing around with a word processor could be useful in : investigating Marathon related stuff. I myself haven't taken it up, but : perhaps someone might. This is just like that goddamned rune puzzle on : bungie.org's front page a few months back. I hated that thing with a : passion because I couldn't make any goddamned sense out of it. I felt that : I could hear Doug Zartman's maniacal laugh echoing in the background of my : mind while I tried to wrestle with that greased pig of a riddle. Sigh. : ^_^ : Vale, amici, : Jonathan Bahamon
