Bill Gates Receives Honorary Knighthood

Bill Gates received today a British honorary knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace for his charity' s program to help improve health and reduce poverty in the developing world.


When I first read the headline I was like, " What n00b would knight Bill Gates because he created Windows!" Then I realized he was knighted for all the billions he' s donated over the years.

Only knighted Brits are allowed to call themselves ' Sir' . So it' s still old Mr Gates.

Bah, I' ve never referred to him as Mr. I always considered him a " Your Lordship" type of guy.

Wow! What the Xenon will be able to do...
