The only logical conclusion is that he was cloned

Something is wrong with the world when fark finds something “real” news organizations miss. (When I first learned about fark, I confused it with FARC, a different organization entirely. That’s right, a terrorist organization has its own official web site. Gotta love the Internet.)

Anyway, fark has pointed out that the guy that Pakistani forces claim today to have surrounded along the border with Afghanistan, Ayman al-Zawahiri, was already reported to have been captured two years ago by The Grauniad. They never printed a correction (as far as I can tell) so I guess he cloned himself.

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
