And what is it that makes people believe that coincidences such as patterns made when you fold paper money, or a picture that comes up when you type something specific in word and put it in Webdings mean the U.S. government must have known about it before it happened?
And where the hell did "flight number" Q33NY come from? Cos, unless it was a Qatar Airways flight that hit the towers, that isn't it.
Is it some sort of ego trip that makes people believe that governments can keep all threats away? If so, the government must be stupid for leaving all those "clues" on Windows.

What flight Q33NY? Wasn't that some type of "Wingdings" hoax or something?
Maybe Bill Gates was in on 9-11!!!!! =O 
All of this 9-11 conspiracy crap is lame.

Tell me about it. It was a Webdings hoax. I haven't tried it cos someone researched the number after she checked it, and it turns out to be some sort of bus number with NY added on. But seriously, if you read there then the American government is too powerful not to have prevented everything from the JFK assasination to spam and popups on the internet. Hence why I'm asking, is it some sort of ego trip that makes people believe this stuff?

I think I've seen it then, cos my friend typed it in during cla** but had to hide it before the teacher saw. But seriously, why do people believe that the government had to be behind everything?

I don't think it's an ego trip, but they seem to want to believe they know something no one else does. Here's an article about the Q33NY thing.....
The Flight Number, Tail Number, Or Gate number, etc. of one of the Airliners Hijacked by Terrorists Tells a Story of Destruction when Changed Into a Particular Microsoft Font-Fiction!
bullet Summary of eRumor:
An email says that the flight number of one of the airliners hijacked by terrorists on September 11 is "Q33NY." If you highlight that flight number in Microsoft Word and change the font to one called "Wingdings," you'll see a graphical representation of the hijacking including an airliner, the twin towers, death, and the Star of David.
bullet The Truth:
This is a hoax, but judging from the emails we're getting, people want something about it to be true.
It is built upon the previously known fact that "NYC" has corresponding symbols in Wingdings that seem to have destructive meaning too.
"Q33NY" is not associated in any way with any of the hijacked airliners. It is not one of the flight numbers. It is not the tail (registration) number of any of the airplanes (we have the actual tail numbers below), and was not a designation on radar that day, and is not the identity of the subway tunnel leading to the airport or the World Trade Center. It's not one of the gate numbers. With few exceptions, all civilian aircraft in the U.S. have a tail number that begins with "N." TruthOrFiction.com has searched the FAA database that includes all airliners and found no airplane with Q33NY or any that begin with "Q" at all.
There's been a bit of mischief with this eRumor along the way. The original version is the one we have below. It clearly stated it was referring to the "flight number." It was easily demonstrated, however, that was not a flight number of any of the hijacked jets. Other versions started circulating that said it was the "tail number" or the "registration number." More recently, some versions are making the rounds that claim it was the gate number.
Here is the information about each flight:
...American Airlines flight #11.
Took off from Boston destined for Los Angeles.
Struck the World Trade Center.
The tail # was N334AA.
...United Airlines flight #175.
Took off from Boston destined for Los Angeles.
Struck the World Trade Center.
The tail # was N612UA.
...American Airlines flight #77.
Took off from Dulles near Washington D.C. destined for Los Angeles.
Struck the Pentagon.
The aircraft tail # was N644AA.
...United Airlines flight #93.
Took off from Newark destined for San Francisco.
Crashed in Pennsylvania was flight #93.
The tail # was N591UA.
The "Wingdings" font in Microsoft Word is one that is a collection of symbols rather than letters. It is true that if you use "Q33NY" in Windings, you'll get the sequence of symbols suggested but it's irrelevant.
A real example of the story as it has been circulated:
Here is something really strange:
Did you know that a flight number from one of the planes that hit one of the
two towers was Q33NY
copy that flight number into MS Word
Enlarge the font size to 26
Change the font to Wingdings
HERE IS WHAT YOU GET:
Q33NY
