Go to wordpad and type in Q33NY in capital letters.
Q33-The first plane flight to hit the twin towers.
NY-New York

Then change the font to the highest possible number(the biggest)

Now change the Text type to Wingdings 1

SCARY ISNT IT?

Nope, not scary at all! Why? Because "Q33" is not the number of any flight involved in that incident.

Flights involved:

AMERICAN AIRLINES FLIGHT 11
AMERICAN AIRLINES FLIGHT 77
UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHT 175
UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHT 93

Now don'tcha feel just a little bit silly?

Am I the only one who finds this post entirely uncouth? People who turn to Nostradamus and numerological coincidences and, in this case, playing around with fonts, to explain horrific incidents like this one are in the absolute worst taste.

Anyway, to finish debunking that this factoid has any significance at all:
  1. As was already stated, none of the flights were numbered with either a Q or a 33. Obviously the loser who came up with this "cute" little font gag (and here I mean "gag" in its most literal sense) picked the Q because it's a plane and the 33 because the character 3 in Wingdings looks most like a building.
  2. The attack had nothing to do with Israel (which would be implied by the fact that Y in Wingdings is the Star of David).
It is my considered opinion that people who come up with stuff like this need to be slapped upside the head. Those who do the slapping should not worry about the force with which they slap, for there's no brain to damage. However, the skull being slapped may be thicker than most, so I advise moron-slappers to take the extra precaution of wearing thick mitts, or using Nerf bats.

I'm not sure I understand--everything I've read to date indicates that the attack was perpetrated by people who have a very strong dislike for Israel and America's support of it. (Though they'd still dislike us just as much if we stopped supporting Israel, so we may as well keep doing it, I guess.)

Anyway, this "font magic" is actually just the latest twist on an old trick:

Actually it's more accurate to say that the terrorists hate America for itself. It's not that we support Israel that's the problem, though the political left and the ever anti-Semitic UN never tire of saying so; it's that Israel, the only free and/or democratic nation in the Middle East, is seen as a sort of an incursion of American values into the region. It's closer to the truth to say that the Arab world in general hates Israel more because of us than us because of Israel. They'd still hate Israel wherever it existed or whether we supported them or not, but America would be still hated anyway.

The only extent to which the attack had anything to do with Israel is that much of the terrorist network behind the attack is also connected to terror attacks on Israel itself. But really that's just saying that they're a co-target, not a statement of cause and effect.

Actually, it isnt that freaky, the thing I liked though is use webdings(not windings(people say that has anti something but I doubt it when you use webdings)) and type NYC at the highest font. kinda funny, no?

I think Q33NY in Webdings translates to "I love camping" in sign language.
