Yesterday, I wrote about how some gullible people are going on about some baloney that is being circulated via email (some crap about the flight number - which in itself may or may not be true - for one of the NYC flights having some hidden meaning when you enter it into Microsoft Word and change the font to wingdings). Well, turns out there must be lots or people who are trying to search for this since my sites been getting tons of hits off of google all searching for Q33NY.
So I figured I’d let people know why sneaker.org may be a little slow today and also for those of you who came here looking for the Q33NY thing… scroll down and read my blog note on it in Thought - caught in the act!. Bottomline is that all this stuff is made up. Wingdings is a funky font. In fact, even if you type in “NYC” in Word and change the fonts to either webdings or wingdings you get weird results (thanks to Brandon for demonstrating this to me; I’m not going to put up an image of this. You can go try it yourself) . One can make up all kinds of stuff like this. Anyone who believes that these is some hidden meaning in stuff like this… needs to get a clue and needs to visit snopes.com: Wingdings Urban Legend and for good measure also go read CSICOP Hoaxwatch.
