Three things that even Microsoft can't explain

MAGIC #1

An Indian found that nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the Computer which can be named as "CON". 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

MAGIC #2
For those of you using Windows, do the following:
1.) Open an empty notepad file
2.) Type "Bush hid the facts" (without the quotes)
3.) Save it as whatever you want.
4.) Close it, and re-open it.
Noticed the weird bug? No one can explain!

MAGIC #3
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. Try it out yourself…
Open Microsoft Word and type
=rand (200, 99)
And then press ENTER
And see the magic…..!

Programmers put things into codes all the time. Disney animators have done some pretty explicit stuff. If you have matlab at your school type in "why?" and it'll give you some interesting quotes, you can swear at the older versions and you'll get a funny response.

He's right, they all can be explained, and make a lot of sense.

CON is a reserved folder and filename, among several others, that was used back int he DOS days that still manages to exist in the Windows OS to this day.

he notepad error is due to a programming glitch where is is unable to properly decode the Unicode script on file.

The rand function is there to test out document usage before actually typeing something, to see if the format works.
