Something to Ponder

Something to think about when you are not really busy or want to kill some time.

Since we're all using Microsoft products here, I thought I'd just let you know a few things that a friend sent to me. According to him these are facts.

Did you know that Bill Gates' real name is William Henry Gates III? Nowadays, he is known as Bill Gates (III) where III means the order of third.

So what's so eerie about this name?

Well, if you take all the letters in Bill Gates III and then convert it into ASCII code (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) and then add up all the numbers.... You will get 666, which is the number of the beast.

B = 66
I = 73
L = 76
L = 76
G = 71
A = 65
T = 84
E = 69
S = 83
I = 1
I = 1
I = 1
666
Coincidence? Perhaps....

Maybe, but take Windows 95 and do the same procedure and you will get 666 also. And even MS-DOS 6.31 adds up to 666.

Still think it is coincidence?

Stay with me... . It gets better.

For those of you who still have the old excel 95 (not office 97) try this out:

Open a new file
Scroll down to row 95
Click on the row 95 button to highlight the entire row
Press tab to move to the second column
Now, move your mouse and click on help at the top
Then click on "about Microsoft excel"
Press ctrl-alt-shift and click on the tech support button at the same time
A window will appear with the title: THE HALL OF TORTURED SOULS

This is really eerie, okay! It has a doom style format and you can walk all around the hall using the arrow keys. On the sides of the walls are the names of the tortured souls....

now walk up the stairs and then come back down, facing the blank wall.

Now type in EXCELKFA; this will open the blank wall to reveal another secret passage, walk through the passage and do not fall off. This is difficult to do. When you get to the end you will see something really, really eerie.

As of this point in time, countless witnesses all over the world have verified that it is a real eye opener. It could be a joke by MS programmers. Or is it...?
