In Microsoft Word type in the letters NYC in a fairly large font.

Change the font to Webdings

Now change it to Wingdings.

Very strange - Nostrodamus would be proud.

Probably coincidental, but spooky all the same.

Actually, it looks to me as if whoever gave each letter its symbol was saying "death to Jewish people is good".

And Jerome, IMO, I don't think it's coincidence at all. Some people plan things like that.

It sure looks like it Jeromito... sadly

But no matter, it is not what it really means (HOPEFULLY)

Yeah, I know Jerome.
But this wouldn't be the first time someone has 'hidden' their feelings like this. There was a big deal about the original cover to Disney's 'The Little Mermaid' when it first came out. Seems that the artist who did the original cover art was mad about something and (I think) about to be fired. So when he drew the underwater palace, he made some of the 'spires' look like, ummm, naked male body parts. (Trying to be polite here). Anyway, he got fired BIG time for that, but not before that cover went out on the first release of the movies. (I have the original cover, btw). They then re-released the movies with new cover art, but couldn't "recall" the ones already out there.

Just shows how twisted some people can be.

They even had a short article on this in Germany's leading weekly newspaper - of which I am a subscriber: this is surely just coincidental. They also gave similar examples for typing "USA". It just appears to me that the symbols for death and poison and alike are pretty frequent in those fonts.
