Three Things Microsoft Doesn't Have Answers To. by smartattorney(m): 1:52pm On May 12, 2015
MAGIC #1 Found that
nobody can create a FOLDER
anywhere on the Computer which can be
named as "CON" without the Quotes. This is
something funny and inexplicable? At
Microsoft the whole Team, couldn't answer
why this happened! TRY IT NOW, IT WILL
NOT CREATE A "CON" FOLDER. After Trying it, I
thought it's Impossible to Create a Folder
with 3 letters but i was able to create many
Folders with just 3 letters but CON, No way.
MAGIC #2
Again this is something funny and can't be
explained? At Microsoft the whole Team,
including Bill Gates, couldn't answer why this
happened! It was discovered by a Brazilian
Programmer. Try it out yourself? Open
Microsoft Word and type "=rand (200, 99)"
without Quotes And then press ENTER, Wait
and see the magic! Is this a Bug or What??
Magic #3
Am sure you all know that a flight number
from one of the planes that hit one of the
two WTC towers in U.S by Osama on 9/11
was Q33N. In Notepad / WordPad or
Microsoft Word, type that flight number i.e
Q33N. Increase the font size to 72 then
Change the font to Wingdings, You will be
amazed by the Findings, You should see the
Picture of a Plane, 2 Tower Building and a
Symbol meaning Danger.. This has actually
been in existence even before the Incident..
Microsoft should be able to explain this.
=> Am sure by now, You should be looking
for your PC/Laptop to Try them Out... Good!!!

1. The specified device name is invalid.
2. Prints out a whole lot of words / sentences
3. A plane, two block like objects and the danger sign.

Explanation!
1. Con is a reserved word used in ms-dos. It means "console"...windows had to keep it compatible with other versions till date.

2. Its a deliberate attempt by microsoft. Its used as a test parameter using the 'random' function.

3. Try it with caps lock off.....its just mere coincidence wink
