Oracularity: Is Bill Gates a lemur? The Usenet Oracle has pondered your question deeply. Your question was: Oh, all powerful Oracle, whose toe nail clippings I am not worthy enough to grind onto my chicken pot pie: I suspect that Bill Gates of Microsoft is really a Lemur. Is this true? Does his wife know? And in response, thus spake the Usenet Oracle: Lemurs are of the prosimian branches of the ape family (as opposed to the arthropoid branches, wherein reside humans). The were so named because the appeared to the Romans to be the spirits of the unburied dead. The are extremely territorial and possessive and spend the entire day eating and making haunting noises to warn off potential intruders/thieves.As they walk, they urinate on their own paws so that their scent will be everywhere they have walked, thereby marking off their territories with widely recognized signs. It is sometimes difficult to tell what Bill Gates is...I presume he's some sort of ape.He appears to the public to be some sort of demonic programmer.He is extremely territorial and possessive and will sue anyone who "steals his programs."As he codes, he marks every line he has typed with widely recognized copyright symbols. Could be.
