Stephen Hawking Is "Very Ill" In Hospital
C S Miller writes "Not much more to add.
The BBC is reporting that 'Stephen Hawking is "very ill" in hospital.' He has had a few health scares before, and as a post-graduate he was told he didn't have much longer to live; he's now 67."
sucks to be him!
I heard he can't walk or speak. Must be pretty sick.
how will he suck the cosmic cock if he's dead?
who cares.. he's been dead for years anyway. let the bastard die.
He can't move and can barely speak. He needs to use a wheelchair and a voice synth to speak.
I hope he pulls through too. Because if he dies he will do so without being having accepted his gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. God is not going to ask Stephen Hawking what his GPA was, or how many department chairs he has held, or how many papers he has published. No, there is only one question that Mr. Hawking will be asked... Did you believe upon my Son for the forgiveness of your sins?
He better make peece with the LORD and make ammend's for his hieretical book's like 'God Dilution' and 'Pandar's thumm'.
Keep the whitehouse white, vote Trump & Palin 2020.
listening to his speeches is like listening to a homeless man (without the stink). Hate to break it to you, but he's a kook and every one of his "theories" has been disproven.
I dunno. Rumor has it Jade Goody had sex with Stephen Hawking because she wanted to be like Marilyn Monroe. Maybe he's got severe HPV? *eeps*

It's still 1 per person.

Don't worry about him. He'll find the true Jesus long before someone like you.

From the New York Times, Prof. Stephen Hawking has been pronounced dead at the hospital in the UK. More details coming shortly
the other guy was a genius who didn't want noterity
Your English teacher must have been a Hawking of spelling.
Rich And Stupid is not so bad as Working For Rich And Stupid.
You may be the first poster happy when modded "obvious."
Ah yes, the broken window fallacy. Look, if I take a shit in the sink, someone has to clean it up and people will hold meetings to decide how to prevent that from happening in the future, but the world isn't any better off for it.
or a man who was bound to a wheelchair most of his life, can't speak without the help of a computer and despite being told he only had a couple of years to live, managed to do more in a few years than 99.99% of other human beings on the planet have ever accomplished in their entire lives?
Bah, I've managed to pick up more silverware in the last few months than he has in the last few decades. Can I have my "Service to Mankind" award too?
(I know, I know, I'm an Internet dickwad with karma to burn...)
Why can't this happen to some douche bag like Pat Robertson.
You spend a hell of a lot of time codifying your fairy tale. I would admire it if it wasn't such a prolific waste of life.
he may never walk again...

LOL, you can't even do camelCase properly and consistently. Epic fail!
Confucius say, "Find worm in apple - bad. Find half a worm - worse."
Yeah, right. Show me one single technological product that is beneficial to humanity and was derived from Hawking's "scientific" work. Hawking is as useful to science as fleas are useful to a dog. Wake up! This is a man who believes in in the physical possibility of time travel, for crying out loud! If that is not a sign of crackpottery and voodoo physics, what is? May Hawking and his useless crap disappear into a black hole of oblivion. And may all his brain-dead followers do likewise. Sheesh!
"The guy has achieved more than almost anyone on the planet"
Get real. Except for a few landmark papers VERY early in his career, he hasn't done anything special. He has a great marketing engine behind him, and he's good at selecting "assistant" writers to explain complex physics to the general public.
It's been decades since he's even peeked into the Top 100 physicists list (which is peer review based). His "achievements" are mostly honorary, and if he wasn't a cripple - he have been moved to the "has been" pile many many years ago.
Good for him to overcome his physical handicaps (and live way longer then predicted), but lets not start giving bonus points for scientific achievements based on the guys handicap (lets leave that to public schools).
