As a few people may know, Bill Gates was recently interviewed on the childrens news programme, Newsround. I was watching because Neighbours was on next. (I really should not have admitted that!) Most of the questions asked were somewhat boring although 1 decent question was asked: "Does your computer ever crash?" Unfortunately Bill Gates replied with a politician like answer saying that it did, but that he gets to the bottom of the problem and its helpful. Yawn!
So I've thought up some better questions that should have been asked and some possible answers from Bill Gates.

Interviewer: Everyone knows that Microsoft is a satanic company. So are you in fact the Devil?
Bill Gates: Yes, I realise that I am often seen in a bad light, but I think that the Devil is a strong term, I generally prefer Beelzebub from my friends or the Prince of Darkness from others.

Interviewer: Are you worried that your children will kill you to get your money?
Bill Gates: No, I thought of this a long time ago (ever since my eldest child got their first, pointy tooth) and therefore decided to leave them a little bit of money in my will.

Interviewer: So how much money was that?
Bill Gates: As I said, only a very little bit, only about $100 million. As I said not much really.
Interviewer: So not much then.

Interviewer: Are you disappointed that Mike Myers was chosen over you for the role of Dr. Evil in the Austin Powers films?
Bill Gates: Yes, I was furious. So I sent a computer virus over the internet to make Mike Myers computer crash every time he uses the internet. But the idiot uses Linux, so the virus didn't work and his computer didn't crash. I had the plan all worked out to put the usefulness of his computer on ransom for 1 million dollars.

Interviewer: How many hitmen does Microsoft employ?
Bill Gates: Not enough, damn Apple computers.
Interviewer: Pardon?
Bill Gates: I refuse to answer that question without first consulting my lawyer.

Interviewer: And finally, do you have any plans at all to give any of your fortune to charity?
Bill Gates: Hahahahaha ... (The laugh continues for a long time.
Interviewer: Thanks Bill Gates for the insightful interview.

Watching Neighbours is a bit worse than watching Newsround. *Smile falters* It is, isn't it? :D

In... defense of Bill Gates.

He does actually give a lot of money to charity. He's recognised in the Guiness Book of Records for doing so, I believe.
