Ok, I lied. But it would have made a more interesting story.

Microsoft's Bill Gates, who now devotes his time to philanthropic activities, found a way to get the attention of top names in science, technology, business, entertainment and academia on the topic of malaria, The Daily Telegraph reports.

Addressing the elite Technology, Entertainment and Design conference in Long Beach, Calif., he suddenly yelled to the crowd: "Malaria is spread by mosquitoes. I brought some. Here, let them roam around. There is no reason only  poor people should be infected."

With that, he proceeded to unscrew the lid on a jar and unleashed a swarm of mosquitoes to a stunned audience.

While he quickly reassured they group they were not carrying the disease, the newspaper says, the organizer of the conference said it was an "amazing moment" that provided the crowd with "food for thought."

But, the Telegraph says, Chris Anderson, curator of the show, quipped that the moment should be headlined, “Gates releases more bugs into the world."

I've always liked Gates.

Now I have an excuse to like him even moreso.

Yeah, I saw that. Thought it was pretty cool. It would have been more awesome if he would have said "Ok...you now have malaria. But don't worry. I have the cure. All you have to do is go out and by a Windows PC"
