[Mik]

65 year olds need to "grow as a couple", really? Someone found someone else.

[Mik]

Precisely what I thought.

[Horace]

we no longer believe we can grow together as a couple in the next phase of our lives.

Maybe she tracked down the quarterback of her high school football team. The next phase of her life? To not be with a total nerd.

[George K]

I wanna see the pre-nup.

[George K]

This will be the richest meme source for the next month, if not longer:

[Mik]

Embarrassingly awkward.

[Jolly]

Wonder what the new wife looks like?

@jolly said in It's the end of the world as we know it...:

Wonder what the new wife looks like?

I assume she looks like about 18.

[Axtremus]

How banal that you all ascribe such a base explanation to the Gates’ domestic configuration change. It may simply be that Bill’s secret laboratory has finally achieved a momentous breakthrough in humanoid AI robotics technology that he has always dream about.

[George K]

Apparently, there is no pre-nuptual agreement.

[Axtremus]

Wow, she laughed so hard in that picture!

[Loki]

Youngest daughter is 18. How many years has this been planned?

[LuFins Dad]

@loki since 1994?

[Mik]

Maybe she was outsourced. I wonder if she has to train her replacement.

Of course, he could have been outsourced as well.

[Aqua Letifer]

Typical Microsoft relationship: Great on paper, seemed really good at the time, but slowed down over the years and eventually crapped out.

[LuFins Dad]

I seem to have read that she was his better angel through the years. Winder if he stays as philanthropic?

[Doctor Phibes]

For years, Bill Gates has had a room at the very top of his mansion. A room that everybody is forbidden from entering. Melinda was initially mildly curious, but as time has gone on, she became more and more convinced that there was a terrible, dark secret hidden behind the heavy oak door leading to the room known only as L1. At night, she swore she could hear strange, unearthly sounds from behind it.

Finally, she could stand it no longer. Choosing a night when Bill was away on one of his "charitable" missions, she crept out of her room, taking with her the key that had been given to her in the early days of their marriage as a token of trust, and opened the door.

In the room was a single computer.

She switched it on.

And life as she knew it was changed for ever.

I assume that any of you would marry Bill in a heartbeat.
