One of the more idiotic genres of e-mail hoaxes circulating is the "False Flight Number in Wingdings Font for Your Anti-Semitic Rebus Puzzle of the Day." A typical version of this e-mail reads: If you have MS Word, type in capital letters Q33 NY (the flight number of one of the airplanes that crashed into the WTC). Then, change font size to 26 and change the font to Wingdings of what you just typed.
Rebus or not, "Q33NY" is not the number of any flight that was hijacked and crashed on 9/11/01. The actual flight numbers were AA11, AA77, UA93, and UA175.
