Hmmm....
Im wondering at this point if Bill Gates is:
a) the craziest richest man or
b) the smartest richest man

Chris Anderson, curator of the show, quipped that the moment should be headlined, 'Gates releases more bugs into the world'.

Too funny.

Yea I saw this article this morning.  One of the divisions in my company focuses on Malaria countermeasures in western Africa, and is funded by the Gates foundation.  A colleague was going to go to that event, but something came up last minute.  Good thing I guess -- don't think he carries OFF with him regularly.

Great way to get your point across though   :aok
