Try this, it's pretty strange. A lot of you may already know about it, but it was new to me and everyone else I've talked to.
Open up MS Word.
Type NYC (all caps).
Change the Font Size to 72.
Change the Font Name to Webdings. Interesting, huh?
Now for the (somewhat) creepy part: change the font name to Wingdings.

I am freaked out. How in the hell did you discover this? This is unbelievable.

I don't think the EYE-HEART-CITY thing is a coincidence, but I've gotta believe the other is. Either that or MS has a nazi (or other anti-semite (sp?)) programmer working for them.

Seattle? Is that where MS is or where you are? Besides, there's no 3-letter code for Seattle. images/icons/laugh.gif

Seattle is where Microsoft is and the standard 3 letter code is SEA.
It is interesting that the Wingding for a Capital S is a raindrop.
