Background
Wingdings is a post-modern DOOMSDAY font. It’s prophetic tendencies are hard to ignore: typing out the word “MILLENNIUM” in Wingdings produces a series of bombs, frownie faces, skulls, crosses, and hands grasping for help.
This is more than a “spooky coincidence”. Just because the Millennial doomsayers were disappointed in 2000 when no rain of hell stormed upon us, there are many more millenia to prove this prophecy TRUE!
There is also a Wingdings 2 and Wingdings 3 but like most sequels, they were vastly inferior to the original.
If you type “NYC” in Wingdings it gives you a special-coded-anti-semitic message!
