Bill Gates Accepts ALS Ice Bucket Challenge
Only Bill would take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and put a scientific twist on the dare. After accepting the challenge from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, 30, Bill decided not to do the challenge like everyone else.
While most people and celebs have just poured a simple bucket of ice water over their heads, Bill created an interesting apparatus that allowed him to simply pull a rope to douse himself with the ice water. Nice, Bill!
This is definitely one of the most memorable ALS Ice Bucket Challenges we’ve seen yet. You can always count on Bill to switch things up!
