NEWS: Doodle Gate: Handwriting Experts Mistake Bill Gates Doodle For Tony Blairs

Handwriting experts analyzed a sheet of paper covered in doodles that had been found on British Prime Minister Tony Blair's desk. The paper found at the Davos World Economic Forum, led the experts to conclude that he was "struggling to concentrate","not a natural leader" and, "stressed and tense." It turns out that the sheet of doodles did not belong to Tony Blair rather Microsoft founder Bill Gates.



Two of the three seem to fit bill. However, concentrating does not seem to be a problem. One thing I have noticed. Early on, back in the day (we are talking late 80's) when Gates was interviewed he rocked back and forth when talking as sort of a comfort gesture. He does not seem to do this anymore. So he may have hired a image consultant to get rid of it, or he is more comfortable with his status. One thing though, would the analysis have been different if they knew who it was in reality?.

I read in the UKs daily mirror that there was another suspect, namely U2s Bono who was sitting at the same table. It was even suggested that the paper could have been passed between the two men and was a join effort.

Thanks Pantha

Here is the masterpeice in question. How many are scared???

You could tell it wasn't Blair's writing. It didn't include a TB/GB in a little heart, neither did it have an upside down cross or 'Pisky is a bastard' written on it

Computer geeks usualy have bad handwriting, why would Bill be any different?

And:

"struggling to concentrate"
Yeah, sitting nex to Tony, it might be hard to concentrate and keep a straight face, imagining Tony Blair with poodle hairdo on Bush's lap :p

"not a natural leader"
Lol, shows em how much "expert" those experts are.

"stressed and tense"
Yeah well, how would you be sitting next to Tony ....

ok, I wonder if we can decide for ourselves who's handwriting that is.

Bono's handwriting

The "masterpiece" looks like a flowchart attempt for his c++ compiler...

Visions Of The Future

Based on the doodles, I predict another eclectic and confusing reorganization at Microsoft.

Then again, that's pretty much what happens every Thursday, so I can't exactly call that a prophecy.

Should've read all the posts first.......it's very early.
