I read about this today on NBC bulletin board. Decided to try it - it is so strange. Here are the directions:

Open up a new document on Word, set the font size to 72, type in Q33NY, highlight it, then set it to "wingdings"(type of font).

Let me know what the rest of you think. Who do you think set this up?

I did this from an email I received. As far as this goes it is all in your perception. I still dont know where the Q33 comes from. I could go and play long enough and come up with anything that is really horrible.

Think about the last 2 letters NY..which the N is a skull and crossbones and the Y is a star of david. How would that alone be interpeted?

Well, I wouldn't think this MEANS anything. Basically someone who was playing around with the wingdings and created the "word" in wingdings first and then converted it to a regular font. THEN they made it seem really ominous.

Try this then: RUR Now change the font size to 72 and set the font to wingding.

And, to build on Nitra's comment. NYC is the skull, the star of David, and the thumbs up sign. A couple of years ago, I had heard that that combination was a sign of bigotry against jews. I, personally, don't believe it. You can interpret the signs for any words any number of ways.

Or this... UFJ

I've got say there are people crawling out of the woodwork with all sorts of stuff to freak others out. What about the new virus that is being sent out? WTF.exe? Don't open it...
