...get used to it. ~ Bill Gates

Forbes came out with it's richest peeps issue yesterday. Bill's the filthy richest of them all...again. The top 400 incomes in the US are worth 1.37 trillion dollars. That's up 8% from last year. They did considerably better than the average joe and Wallstreet.

But, the sky is clouding up, I'm expecting it to start trikling any minute now.

Oops - HERE is the article if you're interested. The Waltons of Walmart have spots 4, 7 and 8..

They probably drop some sick loot.

/Seems to me the Economy is fine then.

The whole raid will need to be keyed just to get in.

Don't look so smug! I know what you're thinking, but Windows Vista was merely a set back.

Having grown up an avid reader of Carl Barks Uncle Scrooge in the 50's, I can only say: THAT. IS. AWESOME.

I love Jughead as much as the next guy but Scrooge and those Junior Woodchucks were the best. Then again I wasn't reading them for the first time in 1940 (Archies) or the 50's. And to be fair, DuckTales was a solid adaptation of the original stories and I enjoyed that show nearly as much as the comics.

And my favorite of all - Wendy Witch. Though I didn't actually start to learn how to read until something around '62.

Being born in December I only had 13 months of the '50's to enjoy. Only thing that I can remember that far back,is that sometime in my first 14 months, I wished I was big like my older brother and sisters and could slide down the banister.

Now Jonwin properly did read any comic book he could get his hand on, though only ones he saved was some of his Spiderman collection.

Same. I've always respected Bill Gates for the way he uses his money to give back to the world. I suspect the bulk of his personal fortune will go toward a plethora of charities, which is, at the very least, admirable.

The real story behind Bill Gates/Warren Buffett not leaving any of their kids any money and donating it all to "charity" is to avoid the inheritance tax and instead be able to write it off. They are also narcissistic and thing that since they pulled themselves up to the highest echelon by scheming and scrounging, that anyone else can, too. Not to mention, many of Warren Buffet's companies are insurance companies, and some insure against the inheritance tax. It's all blah blah ********* Who do you think will run the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation after they die? The kids still get the money.

Little Lulu. Loved her dreams.

Yeah, they could fake their deaths.


(For another three months, at least)

Yes, yellow submarine fish.
