That is in God's job description, I suspect Hawking may come back as a DUPer for he was too clever by half in this life. A giant in a wheelchair, an inspirational man.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

It was an extension of the man's own analogy.

I don't know much about neurology, cosmology or even physics, but I probably have more experience in ITSM than Hawking's doctors.

I like to think he would have been amused by that.

To be fair, more people have probably spent a hour or two watching Bullseye, than have spent an hour or two reading a brief history of time.
