Bill Gates in a Rubber Room

During his November 27th, 1996 interview on The Tonight Show, Bill Gates described part of the house he is building: the Trampoline Room.
     Bill: "It's a room where the whole floor is the trampoline. The walls are padded, though."
     Jay Leno: "So, Bill Gates is in a rubber room with padded walls."

   
ACHTUNG!

The Truth Can Now Be Told

You may have seen the story that tries to prove that Bill Gates is the Anti-Christ by adding up the value of each letter in his name. However, we now have conclusive proof that Bill Gates is evil: Microsoft is developing an animated Barney toy.
     Going a step beyond Teddy Ruxpin, a interactive toy released several years ago by another company that would sing along with specific video tapes, the ActiMates Interactive Barney toy can interact with either CD-ROMs or video tapes when the additional modules are bought.
     The article reported Erik Strommen as saying, "He looks like a stuffed animal, but he's actually a cuddly little computer." Mr. Strommen is a psychologist hired by Microsoft to help develop the educational content of this new system. Based on that statement, it could be said that Barney is now a Borg, having had computer technology assimilated into him by Microsoft.

(Original story reported in the Friday, February 7th, 1997 issue of the Seattle Post-Intelliencer newspaper.)
