Never thought of that. Not sure if he's that evil though... actually I'm surprised Apple has not done that. I would totally see them do it.

His giving all his money to (his own) charity, and trying to encourage other billionaires to do the same.
He's then spending that money trying to do "evil" things like... eradicate diseases entirely, such as polio, or funding internet access in libraries in the US, or develop TB vaccines, or improve condoms.

So yeah, one evil dude.

Hence why I said I don't think he's evil to do what was suggested. He's probably the most generous rich person out there.

I'd point out that landing in the cholla hedge wouldn't kill him but holy Mother of God it was going to hurt.

He says:

"Hey man, I just can't take the pressure anymore. I just wrote my will and I'm going to leave you everything. I'm on top of your roof and I'm going to end it right now."

What do you do?

"Wait Bill! DON'T JUMP!!!! :'( Make sure you cleared this with a lawyer and everything first."

I'd go outside, pull out my iPhone and record it (vertically of course), and then tell him not to do it. And then he'd do it, I'd put it up on YouTube and get paid millions in advertising dollars and then get his billions.

Do you really have to ask that question, of the man who authorized various secret NSA taps, into windows.

Id like to know which method he used, did he ask my neigbor, did he ask a coworker, did he ask somebody else, or did he use secret shadow methods, Id be curious.

Also, Bill does not know me very well, and I do not believe he would see me as a great ally, since I spent late 90s and most of first few years of the 2000s trash talking all Microsoft products (before the great evil of Apple somehow came back from the dead...)

So, I would suspect the person would laugh and reveal their true identity. Simply put, the scenerio is so implausible that I can not even successfully participate in a hypothetical.

Bill was VERY depressed, because of losing his closest relative, in the following fire:

He paid private investigators, millions to track down who did it.

When they finally did, he decided to do the OPs stuff, at the attackers home, and give him the huge wealth, to make him feel guilty.

(I MIGHT be joking, here ?).

Does this include the part where you tell him you're gonna do it your way and then turn it into a 6 month+ saga? I'd want to make sure this wasn't a time sensitive offer.

Oh, you were in NC yesterday?
They have bbq in NC?







A mere jest. NC is second only to the northern delta (northern end of the Mississippi Embayment) for bbq. A little realized fact: good bbq is geologically determined.

Why would you bother with a few million in Youtube advertising money if you had billions and billions?

Once you post, you can't stay away.

Kind of like family or an STD.
