The "bush hid the facts" bug in Notepad explained


Fact. if you:
  1. Load Notepad in Windows (in my case XP Pro)

  2. Type "bush hid the facts" (all in lowercase, no quotes)

  3. Save this file under a name of your choice

  4. Re-open the file

you will not see the text that you typed, but instead you will see a bunch of squares (or, as I later found out, some Chinese characters - that is, if you have the Chinese fonts installed, which is not my case).
