This is a known bug in notepad: if you type ANY combination of letters in a "4-3-3-5" combination the text will be reformatted as UNICODE text...and since notepad doesn't deal well with UNICODE....TA-DA!!

So, this works just as well as "Bush did win votes" or "dems lie big times" - choose your 4-3-3-5 character text.

not only that, it works for any string (not numbers) in the format of "a b c d", where a is "a" string with an even amount of characters > 0 and "b", "c", "d" are strings with an uneven amount of characters > 1.
