ive seen many articles stating that bill gates was murdered but seeing that this is from cnn its probably true

 

My gawd... it's still hard to believe, right on April 1st...I'm just confused, but that being on CNN...I have no words.

 

whoa, thats crazy, i didn't think that sort of thing happened anymore.

 

Look at the pictures. I'm not gonna believe it unless I read it tomorrow in the papers.

Yes, it would be wise to look at it very carefully ...

 

Yeah, hard to believe it on first april, but, well, it's a cnn site.... but it's still hard to believe.... I haven't seen anything on tv yet....

 

im betting that its just a BIG april fools joke

 

CNN joking like that? Still, it's a possibility.

 

and 1 more thing how come in the article they use the name Microsoft Chairman William H. Gates III
is this the same person as Bill Gates??

 

hmmm... how come there's another CNN site thats www.cnn.com... w/out the "-news" in it?

<font size="+3">April fools!</font>

Just thought I'd point that out

 

i KNEW it, i wondered y the site ended in .html and looking at the actual link http://www.cnn-news.com@64.39.46.200/2002/LAW/1/4/gates.murder.01/index.html it looked kinda fake

 

I knew it. I was just, uh, making sure you guys would get caught.

Ok, ok, now everyone knew it.

 

I really don't like April's fool jokes..... anyway, You got me!

 

as soon as i read the title i knew you were gonna try to trick people into thinking this was real then reveal the sinicle truth,

> and 1 more thing how come in the article they use the name Microsoft Chairman William H. Gates III

bill and william are used as the same name, they called bill clinton william before, i have no idea why, theyre separate names

you could always look at the @64.39.46.200 part of the URL
since when do big sites like CNN reveil their IP address?

I could have posted a link to CNN.com using their *real* IP address of 64.236.16.84. So, it would have been http://64.236.16.84/ instead of http://www.cnn.com/ ... And CNN wouldn't be posting their IP, I would

 

At one point I thought it was real, but it was kind of questionable considering the date. The article was also a bit sketchy on the details, plus I went over to the official CNN site and didn't see any front site articles there about it so I suspected it was fake. It was a good joke though, had me fooled for a while.

 

why did you have to get my hopes up

Some stories are covered up quickly. There's a lot of things happening at CNN

*calls cnn and tells them about this...*

so... um... yeah... if you hear people at your door, just remember these 3 and a half words

it wasn't me

 

This story always seems to pop up about this time of year. Bill sure does meet his end in a myriad of ways...

 

Hey, is not good to make jokes to people like that, for myself I was expecting for the monopoly to die ;P

 

is it just me or do people seem to not like bill gates... i know he makes a lot of money, but he did make windows... btw ryos... another avatar? didnt you change it twice today already?
