Through the Wormhole
by Ray Koziel
By a strange twist of fate, it appears that my desk at work sits over
a wormhole in the space-time continuum. This is the only explanation
I can give to the countless number of papers disappearing from my
desk. "But that's not odd," you say. "Things disappear from my desk
often." This may be true, but there's one exception here...not only
are documents disappearing from my desk, but other ones are appearing
out of nowhere! Strange looking articles, letters, and documents
perhaps drawn from other dimensions as if my desk was an interdimen-
sional inbox! Here's an article I recently found while looking for
the source code of a program. Remember, I do not know where or when
this originated...it could reflect what might have been or might yet
be:
MICROSOFT CHAIRMAN BREAKS DOWN, PROCLAIMS HIMSELF "GEEK"
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates, developer of the DOS operating
system and Windows as well as many other applications and systems,
broke down in the middle of press conference yesterday. Usually
known to be tough and a strong leader, Gates suddenly started
mumbling under his breath what sounded like he could not hide it
any longer and that the truth must be known. He then started
shouting "I'm a geek!! Look at me! I'm just a nerd!!" Gates was
quickly removed from the conference area and taken for psychiatric
analysis. It is suggested that the pressures of the government
trying to break up Microsoft's monopoly and the suit over the DOS
file compression features were too much to handle. According to
the latest medical reports, Gates' condition stabilized, once given
some pocket protectors and a slide rule. {RAH}
