Malaria Awareness Week

First Bill Gates gave us Windows.

Then Windows XP.

Then Vista.

Now he wants to give us malaria.

Well, not really. Just raise our awareness.

Malaria is spread by mosquitoes,� the Microsoft founder yelled at a well-heeled crowd at a technology conference in California.

�I brought some,� he added. �Here, I�ll let them roam around � there is no reason only poor people should be infected.�

Who does this guy think he is? Moses?

The stunt was an attempt by Gates � who quit Microsoft last year to concentrate on his charity work - to hammer home the importance of malaria prevention.

It's bad enough he gave us Vista with bugs. Now we have real bugs.
