Bill Gates Revealed as Secret Santa

gatesgift

A woman who took part in an online Secret Santa has discovered the identity of the man who gave her the gift: a certain Bill Gates.

The user, known only as Rachel (with the username NY1227) took part in a Secret Santa anonymous gift exchange organized by Reddit. It may well be the biggest such exchange: last year 44,805 people from 130 counties took part.

Although the participants usually don’t have any personal knowledge of one another as they might in an office, they do get the username of their recipient and are encouraged to take a look through their posts to figure out what they might like. The suggested gift amount is $20.

Rachel received her gift package this week and found it contained a travel book, which was a good fit seeing as she had regularly posted about her interest in travel.

The package also contained a stuffed cow toy, a Christmas card signed “Bill” and a note to accompany the toy, explaining that the person making the gift had also donated to the Heifer International charity, which would use the money to provide a real cow for a family in need to use for farming.

Although the card was signed with a full name, Rachel didn’t pay attention to the signature. However, it appeared out that the gifter either didn’t quite grasp the concept of a Secret Santa, or simply wanted to make sure Rachel got an extra surprise. The last thing she found in the package was a picture of Bill Gates holding the toy cow and donation note.

It turns out the picture wasn’t simply an attempt to get an ego boost. A spokesman says Gates intentionally took part in the Secret Santa to draw attention to Heifer International’s work.

Rating the gift package on Reddit, Rachel concluded “10/10 would receive gift from Bill Gates again”. She also noted that Gates would have seen a post she made suggesting some of the gifts she might like if money was no object and concluded by saying “Sorry for the apple ipad on my wishlist, that was really awkward.”

There’s no word yet on who got Bill Gates as their recipient, or what they sent.

“Destination Truth” Host Takes to Twitter After Getting (Awesomely) Wrong Amazon Order #HamburgerEarmuffs

When most people don’t get the order they’ve paid for, they flip out, especially during the holiday season. But not Josh Gates, host of SyFy Channel’s “Destination Truth.”

According to BuzzFeed, Josh recently opened a box from Amazon, expecting to find a “Destination Truth” t-shirt. Instead, what he received became one of the happiest Twitter “rants” ever.

But Gates quickly realized he got the better end of the mix-up.

The hamburger earmuffs were welcomed by Gates, who realized he had comedy gold on his hands…er, ears.

Amazon offered to rectify the situation, but t-shirts are boring.

The hamburger earmuffs were officially part of the Gates family.

And in case you were trying to land your own sweet pair of hamburger earmuffs, you may now be in a bit of a “pickle.”

 

But who got the “Destination Truth” shirt instead of the hamburger earmuffs??

So, Patrick Stewart Captain Jean-Luc Picard tweeted this picture a little earlier today, and I just had to post it. I mean, it’s not every day that you get Gandalf, Captain Picard, and Santa Claus in the same picture at the same time!

Edit: Or Magneto and Professor X. ;)

Edit #2: Your argument is invalid.

First Trailer for “Welcome to Yesterday” Released

Maybe I’ve been living under a rock, but I hadn’t even heard of this movie until I stumbled across the trailer on Monday.

It’s from producer Michael Bay, but seriously — it looks like Chronicle meets The Butterfly Effect and Chronicle was awesome.

The movie is slated for a February 2014 release.
