WarrenIt was mentioned about Bill Gates being a director, and I did, I got a little survey here that came out, Pricewaterhouse, and the Financial Times cooperate on the survey, and they asked CEOs around the world to choose, if they could pick anybody to choose from history or today to join their company's board, who would they choose? And I'm happy to report the bill came in number two. And actually, number three was Winston Churchill. Carlos Gohn came in fourth. Jesus Christ came in fifth. Napoleon Bonaparte was sixth, and I won't give you the rest of the list. Who was one? Well, one was Jack Welch, I knew you'd ask. But we didn't ask Jack. We asked Bill. So, actually, I thought this was quite an interesting list, because I think many of the CEOs of the world would prefer people that are dead to be on their board.
