Programming Language Inventor or Serial Killer?
I've seen this quiz before, but it's still funny ...
I got a 5 out of 10. Apparently, I should avoid a career in law enforcement or IT recruitment. Whoops.

# re: Programming Language Inventor or Serial Killer?

Well, considering that programmers are some of the ugliest people in the world, I'm glad that I don't recognize their faces, not to mention the serial killers.
My first day at Microsoft on 12/7/1998 was arranged by Microsoft. I can't remember the precise day they arranged for my interviews, but looking at the calendar, I think it was 19 November 1998. I didn't even contact anyone at Microsoft about employment; rather a Microsoft employee contacted me and suggested I come to work for Microsoft. I needed the work so I went through with the interviews. Microsoft chose my first day of employment as 12/7/1998. Not only is that date known as Pearl Harbor Day in the U.S., it was also the day Bill Gates commented in the newspapers that the U.S. federal government was out to destroy Microsoft.
On the date 1/27/2000, Scooter Libby, formerly of Dick Cheney's staff, was 593 months, 5 days, old. Libby - Libyan. Also on the date 1/27/2000, I had been working undercover at Microsoft for 59 weeks, 3 days, having started there on 12/7/1998. The date 1/27/2000 was 359 days before 1/20/2001, the day George W. Bush and Dick Cheney took office. Dave Reichert was 593 months old on 1/29/2000. Michael Chertoff replaced Tom Ridge as Secretary of Homeland Security in 2005. Michael Chertoff is 1 year, 334 days, older than Bill Gates.
The World Trade Center and the Pentagon were attacked on 9/11/2001. That was 33 months, 4 days, after 12/7/1998, the first day of employment for me at Microsoft, as arranged by Microsoft.
The USS Cole DDG-67 was hit by terrorists on 10/12/2000, which was 334 days before the 9/11/2001 attacks.
This aircraft has 3-3-4 in the tail number:
American Airlines Flight 11 was the first flight hijacked in the September 11, 2001 attacks. It was an American Airlines flight aboard a Boeing 767-223ER aircraft, registration number N334AA
When I read about this hijacked aircraft, I recognized the Microsoft employee ID 75612 that Microsoft assigned to me on 12/7/1998, which was 33 months, 4 days, before 9/11/2001:
Flight 175
Tail number N612UA
United Airlines Flight 175 was a morning flight that regularly flew from Logan International Airport in East Boston, Massachusetts to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in Los Angeles, California (Boston–Los Angeles route). On September 11, 2001, the United Airlines Boeing 767-222, registered N612UA
This aircraft had the '591' in the registration number on the tail:
United Airlines Flight 93 was a regular flight from Newark International Airport (now known as Newark Liberty International Airport) in Newark, New Jersey, to San Francisco International Airport, then continuing on to Narita International Airport in Tokyo, Japan, on a different aircraft. On September 11, 2001, the United Airlines Boeing 757-222, registered N591UA
The pilot of Flight 77 that went into the Pentagon was 3459 days older than I am.
From 9/12/1949 to 3/3/1959 is: 3459 days
Charles Frank "Chic" Burlingame III (September 12, 1949 - September 11, 2001) was the pilot of American Airlines Flight 77, the aircraft that was crashed by terrorists into the Pentagon during the September 11, 2001 attacks.
When the 9/11 attacks occurred, George W. Bush was sitting in a 2nd-grade classroom listening to the story "The Pet Goat." The goat, specifically, Bill The Goat, is the mascot of the U.S. Naval Academy. The pilot assigned to the aircraft that was hijacked and crashed into the Pentagon that day was, according to information on the internet, a 1971 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy. His birthday was 3459 days before my 3/3/1959 and 3/4/1959 is recognized by some of my family as my birthday. I recognize that the year 1982 was when I graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy.
George W. Bush, based on information I found on the internet, was 33 years, 3 months, 4 weeks, 1 day, old on 11/4/1979, the day the Tehran embassy hostage crisis began. I believe I was not only part of Operation Eagle Claw, in 1980, along with other activities to get them out, but I was also the pilot of the aircraft that brought the former hostage/POW's home in 1981. Linda Tripp (11/24/1949), of the Monica Lewinsky fame, was 359.3 months old on 11/4/1979. Monica Lewinsky (7/23/1973) was allegedly - and I believe she was lying about the whole affair - involved in a sexual relationship with President Clinton beginning in November 1995, according to sources on the internet. That was just about the time I went into Microsoft the first time to establish probable cause. On the day of Bill Gates 40th birthday, 10/28/1995, Monica Lewinsky was 8132 days old. I was 8132 days old on 6/7/1981, the date of the strike on the unfinished nuclear reactor near Baghdad. Her relationship with President allegedly began a few weeks after that point when she was 8132 days old and I believe Bill Gates sent her in to set him up because law enforcement was investigating insurrectionist activity sponsored by Microsoft Corporation. I believe Bill Gates recruited her for that criminal endeavor because she had been 35 months, 9 days, old on 7/2/1976, and that particular historical but secret detail is what got her into the White House.
This is another overt attempt to get me killed by terrorists so that I won't be able to testify against the insurrectionists, such as Microsoft Corporation and George W. Bush.
From 7/25/1953 to 6/7/1981 is: 334.433 months

Robert Bruce Zoellick (born July 25, 1953) was a United States Deputy Secretary of State, resigning on July 7, 2006. Before holding this position, he served as United States Trade Representative, from February 7, 2001 until February 22, 2005.
He announced his resignation on June 19, 2006 to join the investment bank Goldman Sachs as a managing director and chairman of the company's International Advisors department.[1]
President George W. Bush nominated Zoellick on 29 May, 2007 to replace Paul Wolfowitz as President of the World Bank.
From 6/20/1954 to 6/7/1981 is: 9849 days
From 3/3/1959 to 2/14/1986 is: 9845 days
9849 - 9845 = 4 days

Ilan Ramon (June 20, 1954 - February 1, 2003; ) was a combat pilot in the Israeli Air Force, and later the first Israeli astronaut. Ramon was the space shuttle payload specialist of STS-107, the fatal mission of Columbia, where he and the other crew were killed in a re-entry accident over Texas. Ramon is a recipient of the Congressional Space Medal of Honor.

Of the two shooters at the Columbine massacre, the first guy listed below was born 59 days before 6/7/1981. The date 6/7/1981 is the date known as when the Israeli Air Force destroyed the nuclear reactor Saddam Hussein was building and before it could be loaded with radioactive fuel. The rationale was that he was going to make nuclear weapons and that he would probably have used those weapons. I can’t remember for certain, but I am quite certain that I covertly led and trained the Israeli Air Force pilots for that mission, possibly on my own initiative, while I was a U.S. Navy Midshipman.
The first one was born 59 days before 6/7/1981 and the second one was born 3 months, 4 days, after 6/7/1981. I believe I led that strike on 6/7/1981 into Iraq and that my birthday is recognized in my father’s homeland as 3/4/1959. That second ones birth was also precisely 20 years before 9/11/2001.
The 9/11/2001 attacks occurred 334 days after the USS Cole DDG-67 attacks and also 33 weeks, 4 days, after 12/7/1998. Bill Gates commented on 12/7/1998 that the U.S. government was out to destroy Microsoft.
Eric David Harris (April 9, 1981 – April 20, 1999) and Dylan Bennet Klebold (September 11, 1981 – April 20, 1999), both high school seniors, were the perpetrators of the Columbine High School massacre. The school is located in Jefferson County, Colorado (near Denver and Littleton), U.S.. On Tuesday, April 20, 1999, the two launched a rampage, killing 12 classmates and one teacher. Both Harris, 18 years old, and Klebold, 17, committed suicide after the killings.
Phoebe and I are 4 years, 4.433 months apart.
From 3/3/1959 to 7/16/1963 is: 4 years, 4 months, 13 days
13 / 30 = 0.433

on February 16, 1986, Microsoft relocated to Redmond, Washington. Around one month later, on March 13, the company went public with an IPO

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_hostage_crisis
The Iran hostage crisis was a 444-day period (approximately 14 months), during which student proxies of the new Iranian regime, Muslim student followers of the Imam's line, of the held hostage 63 diplomats and 3 citizens of the United States inside the U.S. embassy in Tehran. The standoff lasted from November 4, 1979 until January 20, 1981.Within three weeks, the hostage-takers released several women and African-Americans, leaving 53. [1] The United States launched a rescue operation, Operation Eagle Claw, which failed and caused the deaths of eight servicemen. Historians consider the crisis to have been a primary reason for United States President Jimmy Carter's loss in his re-election bid for the presidency in 1980
…
The remaining 52 hostages were held captive until January 1981.
Now I understand why someone asked me one day at Microsoft, of all people sitting in that conference room, what was the zip code of Redmond. I remember thinking it wasn’t just a normal question but I couldn’t put my finger on what was important about him asking me that question. He knew I had been part of that operation to rescue the 53 hostages. Bill Gates chose Redmond because I guess we had some longstanding disagreement about Microsoft, which is what that employment contract I have been writing about means.
