Top ten likely responses to the Gates pie incident
It's not every day that the world's richest man gets a pie
in the face. And we would be remiss if we let the Belgian
pie incident go by without a top ten list in its honor. So
herewith, the top ten likely Microsoft responses to Gates'
pie in the face:
- Microsoft announces that Robert Lessig's fingerprints
were found on the pie plate.
- Company plans 1999 release of "Visual Pie++ for Windows."
- Microsoft waffles on release of Belgian version of
Windows 98.
- Hostess fruit pies removed from Microsoft campus vending
machines (three days later, a hoard of pies is found in
Nathan Myhrvold's office).
- Bill Gates has pie-proof "Papemobile" built for future
public appearances.
- From now on, all new Microsoft CD-ROMs will be square,
because Gates "freaks out" when he sees flat circles.
- New Microsoft game released: X-Wing vs. Pie Fighter.
- Microsoft buys Mrs. Smiths Frozen Pie Company--and shuts
it down.
- MS programmers no longer allowed to use value of pi when
programming vector-drawing algorithms.
- After a lengthy investigation, Microsoft reluctantly
admits that the pie incident was staged by Wagner-Edstrom to
divert public attention from the DOJ hearings.
