    I got a forwarded email about this. It's very strange and very interesting. Go into Microsoft Word, type NYC (in caps), change the font to Wingdings and then to Webdings. Microsoft are the copyright owners of both fonts...and are obviously prophetic too.

    That is weird, but it could easily have been put in by the programmers/creators of the font. Maybe the guy was from NYC or something. Still, it is an easter-egg type thing that I definetly hadn't read about before.

    That's in Webdings - in Wingdings it becomes a Skull & Crossbones, a Star of David and a fist with it's thumb up.

    Dunno what the big thing about it is...
