I found this the other day and I thought it was amazing:
Quote:
Load up notepad.
Type "bush hid the facts"
save the document, any name works.
Close it.
Open it again.
what you open isn't what you typed.

You have to remove the quotes and then save it.Quote:
Type "bush hid the facts"
It works with anything in the format: 4 3 3 5 letters (even gibberish).
Funny works good. I used dean ate the co**s, and asked if he is trying to hide something?
I did remove the quotes. Still looks the same.Quote:

If you open the saved document in OpenOffice you get what you originally typed. Same deal with Wordpad, so it looks like a "notepad" thing?
Hmm that is wierd... someone explain
