the bush hid the facts just turns into little boxes...
the con thing works...
the =rand thing works with any numbers.... havne't figured out the significance yet... you can do =rand (1, 1) and it'll do the same thing...
still cool... I really wanted the bush hid the facts thing to open some story book or something lol

i KNEW i saw that phrase somewhere before. in my bathroom reader, it says:
The French typing equivalent of "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is "Take this old whiskey to the blonde judge who's smoking a cigar".
uses all the letters of the alphabet.

this is what i got from an online translating website
Take this old whiskey to the blonde judge who's smoking a cigar
Prenez ce vieux whisky au juge de blond qui fume un cigare
it's still missing a "t" though...unless you use cigarette instead of cigar?
