Notepad glitch?

For those that don't want to follow the link:

Open Notepad, and type

bush hid the facts

save as, any name.txt file name doesn't matter.

close Notepad

now re-open Notepad and open the file that you just created.

mine looked like this

畢桳栠摩琠敨映捡獴

Weird... I got the same thing: 畢桳栠摩琠敨映捡獴

Can anyone read that? Google translator doesn't seem to be much help.

I did find one thing, though. If you do all that, save it, then open it, it gives you the munged text. But, if you erase the new text and re-write "bush hid the facts", resave, close it, and reopen it, it still says "bush hid the facts".

By the way, rond, you posted the same thread twice ;)

Hmm........ Works OK for me. Open the new file, and it still reads the same??

Mine came out all squares but pasting here makes this:

畢桳栠摩琠敨映捡獴

Weird. Sorta like that wing dings stuff from 9-11

that is odd... i got the squares... maybe MS doesnt like bush?

[johnny_quest]

wow, i got the squares too on win2000 pro, i wonder what causes it...

man you know you're a big shot when you get your own personalized windows glitches...

[azzey]

I tried 'azzey hid the facts' but that didn't work! :rolleyes:
I guess I'm not a bigshot :D

[halovivek]

it did not worked for me

[azzey]

Using Windows XP?

There is a glitch not because of the exact text but because of the word length. Somehow notepad does not like 4 3 3 5...

xxxx xxx xxx xxxxx

produces the glitch also...

[azzey]

Yeah... I tried "mike ate one pizza" and it did the same thing!

[SufferWell1396]

Wait, it also works if you type "This Program Can Crash"

You will just end up with the squares again

but thats another combination, it will do that on anything that is 4-7-3-5

i tried xxxx xxxxxxx xxx xxxxx and it did the same thing
