Wierd ...
I know why it does this (sorta), but try this
1) open notepad
2) type "bush hid the facts" (without the quotes)
3) save the text file wherever
4) close notepad and reopen the file
Wierd, huh?

It's not the massive right-wing conspiracy it might seem, though. It's an odd bug in Notepad that's triggered by a text file consisting of a four-letter word, two three-letter words, and a five letter word. Some text does it -- "this app can break" is their example -- some doesn't.
It has to do with character encoding. Im guessing notepad tries to guess which encoding to use, and it does so fairly well, however it fails on some phrases. IE: "this app can break

Its just a bug and the chinese it comes out with is just random symbols, dont matter what words you use...
It is indeed an odd bug but it's triggered by a pattern, not a sequence of words. Digg has 5 submissions for it; 3 for "this app can break" one for "bush hid the facts" and one for "jack was the other". It'll trigger on any string of characters in the pattern "xxxx xxx xxx xxxxx" if you save it as ANSI or ASCII.
