It may be wrong, but didn't Albert Einstein challenge people who questioned his ideas to go ahead and prove him wrong, just to get people working on finding stuff out rather than simply challenging some theory that was proposed.
Kudos to Prof. Hawking for stimulating research, and having some fun at the same time!
Perhaps the writers of The Big Bang Theory could use the idea to have Prof. Hawking make a bet with Sheldon Cooper about a particular theory. I heard he really enjoyed his appearance on the show and it would be great to see him as a guest star again.

Canada has decided to pre-empt all the fuss by converting all radio broadcasting to Digital Audio Broadcasting by 2010. Many stations across the country now simulcast in DAB as well as their regular broadcast method. I for one look forward to setting CBC Radio 1 to link into the local reflector, and cruising across the country enjoying uninterrupted reception by land or sattelite transmitters.

If DST gets you down, head to Saskatchewan or some of the areas of the U.S.A. which remain on Standard Time all year round.
