A picture is worth a thousand words: The most interesting and astonishing historical photos

Shaquille O’Neal holding Bill Gates, 1995

This might be the oddest pair you’ll ever see – Microsoft’s founder Bill Gates and NBA star Shaquille O’Neal having a special moment together.

The picture was taken after Bill Gates endowed O’Neal with his first computer (Microsoft, of course). It’s also known that the NBA player helped Gates promote Microsoft products. What a strange and lovely friendship.
