    Just got this mail from my Dad, it will blow your mind.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Why would it blow your mind? It is just a funny coincidence. Unless you assume that the Supreme Being is addressing us via wingdings...

    According to this site,

    http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/blwingdings2.htm

    neither of the areoplanes were actually numbered Q33 NY, so some chump just picked the fonts he needed to create that picture, and then told everyone that was the number of one of the flights.

    If you change it into webdings you get something similar (a plane chrashing into two blocks, a deadshead and a David's star). But it is bogus. Same about the Nostradomus poem that circulated shortly after the crash: only four of the twelve lines were from Nostradomus, four were from someone who wanted to prove how easy it is to play Nostradomus and four where from an unknown origin.

    It is easier to spread ten lies than it is to disprove two.

    this has been around for ages...I'm quite surprised that you havnt heard of it
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    If I was smart, I would have a witty punchline in this sig that would make everyone ROTFL.

    I've never seen this before, it's weird,but it is not some sort of message from god...

    And it is , judging from what RabidGibbon said , easy to do, if you have a lot of spare time on your hands..

    Actually, it should be voiced as a Jewish symbol. Some might see the abbreviation as rude. But we won't dwelve into that too deeply here.

    On second thought - moved to the Backroom.

    possibly, but there is more of a history and evidence that Europeans are more anti-semitic than Americans, hince why I said "very European". 6 millions Jews would probably agree with me if Europeans haven't silenced them. I'm just doing what most Europeans and liberals on this board do, slamming America at every possible angle. So if you don't like it, report it or just shut your pie hole.

    It`s not very European if a miniority did it. Or, if I shall responnd in the same way: it`s just so American to be racistic.

    Great - a thread about an urban legend that has been debunked 4 years ago turns into another Europe vs America bash-thread
