I knew that, actually there used to be a chain letter that said that and used it as proof of an alleged conspiracy.

I don't want to know... Thinking about 9/11 gets me very upset. I lost several people on that day.

It's not creepy... Someone just tried arranging symbols until they could make a meaning.

Here's some more meaning where there isn't any

Wow, because notepad reads it as a different Unicode encoding scheme, it's a conspiracy!!!!

I remember coming home from school one day in the third grade and reading about this. I guess there are some things that get learned for the first time by someone new every day.

To those who didn't read the Snopes link:

"Q33" has nothing to do with either of the flights that crased into the WTC on 9/11. It was not the flight number, it was not part of the registration number, it was not the "flight path". "Q33" simply has nothing to do whatsoever with anything that happened that day. People have started claiming it did, because those particular Wingnuts are a plane and two pieces of paper (which somewhat resemble skyscrapers). Similarly, the World Trade Center attacks were not a specific Jewish attack. They were an attack on a symbol of capitalism in specific, and on America in general.

Back in the years before 9/11 (and yes, we've had conspiracy theories before that!), it was pointed out that "NYC" in the Wingnuts font was the skull-and-crossbones, the Star of David, and the thumbs-up symbol. This supposedly "proved" that New York City was anti-Semitic. I'm not exactly sure how.

Strange coincidences DO happen, of course. On July 17, 2001, a band released their first CD. The band's name was I Am the World Trade Center. Track 11 is "September".

Ah, I love conspiracy theories. Maybe I'm too cynical, but whenever I hear something like that, the first thing I think of is how to prove it's fake. Snopes generally does a good job of that for me.
