Try this guys;

1) Open a standard Notepad document, blank
2) Type in "Bush hid the facts" without the quotation marks
3) Save the file anywhere under any name, then close it
4) Reopen it again

Conspiracy? Is there a logical explanation?

Some wierd bug, it has to do with the number of letters and words. "this app can break" will get you the same result. ;)

It only breaks when you save using ANSI character encoding :p.

It's not the massive right-wing conspiracy it might seem, though. The folks at WinCustomize.com discovered an odd bug in Notepad that's triggered by a text file consisting of a four-letter word, two three-letter words, and a five letter word. Some text does it -- "this app can break" is their example -- some doesn't.

Play around with it if you want. I have always had fun it.

"dont use few words" came up with 潤瑮甠敳映睥眠牯獤 in unicode format, but I retyped it in ansi and it saved fine xD

Just a bug kids - and we know it will never get fixed! /flex@ microsoft

Funny. Let's just conclude with "Notepad fucking sucks."
-edit-
Just checked. "dont use few words" turns out fine if i select unicode when saving it the first time. However, if I save it as ANSI the first time, I'll appear as Unicode and in Chinese when I reopen it. So apparently, when you use ANSI for some short words, it'll think the encoding is Unicode when you reopen it.

I don't care, as long as it can save using the Opendocument format. Or RTF.

According to wordlingo.com it means "Bi 桳栠 touches 琠 敨 reflects picks 獴". There's still bits untranslated though.

Weird.

Things You Can't Say in Notepad
If you're a Windows user, open Notepad and type in this phrase, without the quote marks and with no carriage return: "Bush hid the facts". Now save it and open it again.

The subversive text is probably gone, replaced by a line of white boxes, or Chinese characters if you have the font.

Weeeird.

If Microsoft can't keep strange bugs out of Windows' simplest application, we'd better get used to the monthly security patch cycle.

Why is everyone saying this makes Notepad suck? Am I the only one who thinks this makes Notepad COOLER? I mean, come on. It's like an easter egg in a movie. This is stuff you're meant to go "haha, that's pretty amusing" and be satisfied that you found the easter egg. Geez you guys are anal sometimes!

I for one hope it stays there.

So I've figured out a few things about the bug:

-The first letter must be a capital

-There has to be no period after the last word.

- And, as others have said, you can use that same format (word with captial first letter and three others, then a three letter word, another three letter word, then a four letter word without a period after.)

If an easter egg in the movie could possibly cause the movie to not function correctly -- it is a rotten egg. Which this is. And rotten eggs suck. :p
