Check these my friend scrapped me-
MAGIC #1
Nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the computer which can be named
as "CON".
This is something pretty cool...and unbelievable. ..
At Microsoft the whole Team, couldn't answer why this happened!
TRY IT NOW, IT WILL NOT CREATE "CON" FOLDER
MAGIC #2
This is something pretty cool and neat...and unbelievable. ..
At Microsoft the whole Team, including Bill Gates, couldn't answer why
this happened!
Try it out yourself...
Open Microsoft Word and type
=rand (200, 99)
and then press ENTER
MAGIC #3
For those of you using Windows, do the following:
1. Open an empty notepad file
2. Type "Bush hid the facts" (without the quotes)
3. Save it as whatever you want.
4. Close it, and re-open it.
is it just a really weird bug?
You can try the same thing above with another sentence "this app can
break"

#1 : The “CON” word is an old MS-DOS reserved word , that why you can’t create folders with such name. “CON” mean consol.
Her is the list of reserved words: CON, PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9. But still it CAN be created using simple DOS Commands !
#2 : It’s not a bug , it’s a built in function for developers to insert random text without type in the whole thing on the keyboard. More information can be found on http://word.mvps.org/FAQS/Formatting/DummyText.htm
#3 : It happens because when you save a file in Notepad, it gets saved in 8-Bit ASCII format. But the next time you open it, Notepad thinks it is saved in UTF-16 Unicode Format. So it displays some garbage characters.
It happens even for hhhh hhh hhh hhhhh

So there you go, theres no Magic in it lol 
These are really very old now. I'd heard of them more than 4 years back !
To watch Star Wars in DOS do the following :
- Start Telnet (Start > Run > "telnet")
- When Telnet starts, type "o" (without quotes) and press ENTER
- Type in "towel.blinkenlights.nl" and press ENTER
- Wait a few seconds for the credits to pass, and then enjoy!
