How did Bill Gates get so rich?
     Donna

Okay, quick and easy formula. Assume you bought a 286 in the 80's. It was equipped with DOS and it had 640K of RAM. Now take 640 as a base and multiply it in a series with the next three chip upgrades (because DOS has three letters)... 640 x 386 x 486 x 586. Okay, now take the number you got there and divide it by the number of computers you had (4), and give or take a few cents in Microsoft's stock price, you've got the approximate net worth of Bill Gates.

It doesn't really explain how he got so rich, but the coincidence is stunning, particularly when you keep in mind that it's also the exact amount of RAM you'll need to run the next version of Windows.

I don't know why, but I'm embarrassed to get undressed in front of my dog, Jimbo. Can you think of a reason?
     Rick

Well, I could probably get 85 psychologists to come up with 85 reasons, all of them dating back to some trauma in your childhood, but mine is much more practical. If Jimbo saw you naked, he might begin asking uncomfortable questions, like "hey, how come you got to keep yours?"

How long is eternity?
     Sammi

There are many conflicting metaphysical and scientific theories regarding that, but since eternity can't be measured exactly yet, I tend to conceptualize it as a feeling. Let me give you a few of my favorite examples of what feels like eternity.
