Bill Gates Does Something Unusual: Releases Bugs!

Bill Gates did something unusual today at the TED genius-fest: He unleashed a swarm of live mosquitoes into the audience. No, he wasn't promoting Windows Vista. He was making the point that "not only poor people should experience this," by which I guess he meant the experience of being abused by a billionaire. Just kidding. He was talking about malaria. Anyway, it was a good day to not be at TED.
