Have some fun

Some of you might probably know these but for those who are unaware here it goes:

1. Nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on Windows computer which can be named as "CON".

2. Open Microsoft Word and type =rand (200, 99) and then press ENTER

3. Did you know that a flight number from one of the planes that hit one of the two WTC towers on 9/11 was Q33N. In Notepad / WordPad or MS Word, type that flight number i.e Q33N. Increase the font size to 72. Change the font to Wingdings. You will be amazed by the findings.

4. Try searching in Google "answer to life the universe and everything" "number of horns on a unicorn" or "once in a blue moon" for unexpected computations.

None of the planes involved in the WTC had the flight number q33n. Old hoax is old.

One more. Open notepad (in XP only?) and type 'bush hid the facts' (without the inverted commas). Save the file and open it again.

Con is not the only word...There are a lot of them. Theses are basically device files which were available to aid in performing certain tasks. Thus we cannot use them as folder names...

• American Airlines Flight 77
• United Airlines Flight 93

Wanna create a folder as con, or any other name as suggested by Angypixel?

open cmd, and type:
C:\>md \\.\C:\con

This will create a folder 'con' in c:\

to remove this, however, you'll need another command:
C:\>rd \\.\C:\con

Nice tricks

Not knowing about =rand (200, 99)

 

[Abhas]

You can change the values in the rand to generate different number of pages

I find the Chuck Norris one the best:

'Google won't search for Chuck Norris because it knows you don't find Chuck Norris, he finds you.' :laugh
