My brain is very weird. Passing in and out of the same dream for about two hours this morning (between 8 and 10 AM), one of the people featured at some kind of outdoor picnic or convention I was at was a "Bill Gates, Jr." (alongside the Bill Gates we all know, who was his father). I was just checking now to see if there actually was such a person, and sure enough, there is, but not quite as my brain constructed it -- Microsoft's Bill Gates is a III and his father is the Jr. In the dream this notional son (who would be Bill Gates IV if he existed in the real world) he was tallish and slender and a bit gawky, as 17-year-old boys will be, with a shaggy 70s-ish cut of light brown hair, and apparently I desperately wanted to get my fingers into it (this sounds like my M.O.; I have a big weakness for shaggy haircuts on young men). What is really amusing me is that although I had not seen the following picture before, I apparently managed to de-age him quite well and he looked almost exactly like this.

That's very cool and peculiar. I love it when I get... alternate universe fragments? ... like that.
