Gates gets egg on face during Brussels visit BRUSSELS, Belgium (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates got a face full of custard pie during his visit to Brussels on Wednesday, organizers of the visit said. The attack took place as Gates, fresh from a visit with world and business leaders in the Swiss ski resort of Davos, was about to attend a reception given by the Belgian Flemish community. Organizers said five people, equipped with stocks of pies, appeared to be involved in what was believed to have been a prank with commercial intent. Shortly after the incident a caller offered to sell Reuters Television some film of the attack, from which Gates emerged spattered but seemingly unscathed. It was unclear if Noel Godin, a Belgian who has made a name for himself and a lucrative business out of hurling custard pies in the faces of the rich and famous, was behind the incident. o~~~ O
