Hawking Expecting To Make Full Recovery

Posted by timothy on from the buck-up-little-camper dept.

explosivejared writes "Yesterday we discussed the medical scare that physicist Stephen Hawking was going through. Happily, his website has posted a succinct statement that he is being kept for observation, but he is comfortable and expecting a full recovery."

    Are any of us expected to make a full recovery?

    Life is the leading cause of death, ya know.

      Why don't they just turn him off and back on again. That usually fixes it.

    Until then, it was 50-50. But as soon as the doctors observed him, the state of his health collapsed to one state: full recovery.

      Actually, Hawking's observed photon trace virtualized into a Hawking-antiHawking pair. AntiHawking fell into a black hole, and we're recovering Hawking.

  3. Obviously he will recover by wowbagger · · Score: 2, Funny

    Obviously Dr. Hawking will recover - he has not yet found a full Grand Unified Theory integrating quantum mechanics and gravity. That's the deal he made with Death - he gets to have that theory published before he dies.

    A much better gambit than challenging The Grim Reaper to chess. Or Twister, even.

    GP had it right. Snide evolutionists don't bother asking such questions of Hawking. Since he's, you know, not a biologist.

    I'd say skilled is not a word usually used when referring to creationists. While they always try to use trickery and deceit, they are rarely skilled at it.
