    Got this in an email today and I thought it was pretty freaky...

    Open up a blank word document
    Type in Q33 NY - in capitals (the number of 1st plane to hit the Twin Towers)
    Highlight it
    Change it to font 48
    Change font to wingdings

    :eek:

    Sorry if it was done before but it has my brain fried

    It's not true - from this site:
    http://www.snopes.com/rumors/coincidence.asp
    the two flights used to assault the Twin Towers were American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175.

    Got it in an email around time of 9/11, don't know if I had to say though I'd say it's just a complete coincidence.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 465 ✭✭Kermitt

    Very old, but anyway if you purposely go looking for hidden meanings and conspiracies in everything, not only are you going to come up with a lot of complete bollox, you're going to believe it too...

    Thats true, but it doesnt explain this latest disturbing link I just found!!

    Dalai Lama to be the highest lama of the Tibetan traditions. He is often granted the style "His Holiness" (or HH) before his title.

    HH is also the abreviation of "Heil Hitler" the Hitler salute.

    Therefore it's obvious isn't it? Tibetan Buddhists are Nazi's! Tell the press! Warn Israel!

    Indeed.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q33_NY


    The flight numbers were AA 011, UA 175 (WTC); AA 077 (Pentagon), UA 093 (Pennsylvania).
    What is the point of Wingdings anyway?
    To put little symbols in your text, I suppose.
    I actually use a little letter, phone and fax symbol on my letter heads in front of the actual information. I think it looks nicer.

    Those terrorist lads think of EVERYTHING. I mean, if they had it planned from before Word was produced, what else do they have in store for those of us with far, far, far, far too much free time?
    I heard they even had it planned before water was invented, and that if you throw a glass full of water against a wall it splashes into the words "You're all f*cked, have a nice one."

    /end sarcasm


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,821 ✭✭✭18AD


    I dunno if I trust the snopes information. The site was updated last on the 11th! :eek: They're all part of it.

    Also, where it says 'Last updated', guess how many letters are there. Amazing.

    I never saw it anywhere, but the number for emergency sevices over there is 911.

    The word coincidence has 11 letters.

    Wingdings = 11 letters

    Rumors of war = 11 letters (stupid american spelling, well spotted)

    It's a never ending discovery of 11'ses. I'm gonna press the 'submit reply' button in a second, or I might 'preview post' first...wait a second...Holy good god, boards is in on the conspiracy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,466 ✭✭✭Blisterman


    That's 12 letters in the last one.

    It's 999 over here. If you turn it upside down and backwards, you get 666!

    !1!ONE!!, secret code for... 11! You work for satan! :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,808 ✭✭✭Dooom


    But surely if that was a secret code for 11, then I'd be working for Al-qaeda/Jihad/whoever we're blaming these days?
    Also, I don't work for Satan (much). I work for a relatively nice guy called Pete.

    Aha! There goes your theory out the window...I've been going all logical on people today and generally ruining their ideas/jokes/theories etc. :p

    Or did I want you to think that that's what I wanted you to think?

    Both! (rhetorical answer)

    Alas, the devil goes by many names, Pete being one so unfamiliar to us.
    Terrorists don't have codes. That's too complex for them. They are, after all, terrorists :rolleyes:

    You're too smart though. You must be one of them! *Initiate mob mentality* Joins forces with Pazaz. *sharpens tomatoes*

    Ireland is 999 or 112
    11-2 the 11th all over again! Second coming of Osama!

    11=2
    1
    1+2=3

    213

    That's BAC or Baile Átha Cliath. Next target is Dublin! Take down the Spire!

    (I am having a boring morning at work :D )

    "It'll be 9-11 times a thousand." "Jesus, that would be..." "That's right, 911,000."
