"We are the Knights who have lots of..... "Mon-Ni"!"

Ok Monty Python jokes aside... I have no comment on this.


Would've killed me if Bill had turned to the camera and said the above quote, though. Slipgate - Tongue

Next, Bush'll win the Pullitzer, and Osama will get nominated for the 2006 oscars.

Mr Gates, 48, the world's wealthiest man, said it was "a great honour" to be recognised for his business skills and for his work on poverty reduction.

So I guess because he's ultra-rich he's not impoverished, hence poverty reduction...?  Doom - Huh?

And don't get me started on the whole charity bit, I know plenty of poor people who get more help from fellow poor people than they'd ever hope to see from someone with the kind of dough he's got.

I'm beginning to suspect the queen's getting senile in her old age.

Yet another publicity stunt...this time pulling in the world's most hated man in order to attract attention to themselves.  As for the "little chat about computers" he apparently had with the Queen, I would not be at all surprised if it was tech support for a broken down Windows 95 machine.

Regards,

very much doubt gates is comparable to osama and bush..

the guys worked hard.. so he took a few shortcuts and played some hardball with competitors, at least hes trying to do something positive on top of that :p

not heard of him sending groups of armed people to kill competitors but give it time..
