• Bill Gates earns US$250 every SECOND, that's about US$20 Million a DAY and US$7.8 Billion a YEAR!
• If he drops a thousand dollar, he won't even bother to pick it up bcoz the 4 seconds he picks it, he would've already earned it back.

According to the newest Calendar, the New Year day had been shifted to the January 1st from the end of March where it was on the Julian calendar. But it says that many people did not accept the new date of the New Year and some did not learn about it properly even in order to celebrate it. Therefore, those kind of people continued celebrating the New Year during the week in which bounded by May 25th and April 1st as usual, with various sort of jokes and funny stuff played around.
