Gates Slammed for Secret Meeting
Fri Aug 5, 2005 11:00 PM ET
Afghanistan (Reuters) - Microsoft Chairman and Chief Software Architect, Bill Gates, has faced criticism from all quarters today, after it emerged that he recently travelled to Afghanistan to meet America's most wanted man, Osama Bin Laden.
A Microsoft Press Officer strenuously denied reports of the visit, claiming that Gates had not been outside of the US for some time. However, several witnesses claim to have seen the pair chatting in the lobby of the Mustafa Hotel in Kabul, Afghanistan.
One individual, who claims to be a waiter at the hotel and wishes to remain anonymous, claimed to have overheard part of the conversation. He said, "It was very strange because Mr Gates was quite heavily disguised, but you could tell that it was him." When pressed for details, our source stated that Osama had apparently been keen to order a number of Microsoft's new Xbox 360 consoles, in order to pass the time while hidden away in his cave network - a claim instantly dismissed as "farcical and utterly ridiculous" by the MS Press Officer.
However, this reporter has since received photographic evidence of the meeting. [URL]http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b372/WookieeMonster/BillGatesOsama.jpg[/URL]
So far, no-one at Microsoft has been available for comment.

It's true - I did take an interest in WWE for a while. But I'm all better now.

No, someone suggested you and there was disagreement, plus people saying they'd seen you posting
EDIT - And I had this to say about you ;)

As the Notable-off voting looms closer, he's scuttled back into Gen Chat to make sure we all know he's still here
He posted in SHEEPYs eBay topic, as an example

Probably because I've not been here for so long they'd all forgotten about me! :-)
No, it seems you aren't in the running for an off-vote

No, no irony. Prior to this week, I'd not been around here for almost a year and didn't know.
So feel free to vote me off.
Just be ready for the world as we know it to end. ;-p

Sorry
If you're being ironical ; hahaha
If not then you need to get up to speed, it was introduced on the last vote and works in the same way as a promotion
SonicRav left last time and this time it looks like Sniper (IronFlame) is going, or FM
