Stephen Hawking About To Leave The Universe


Famed physicist Stephen Hawking, current Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge, has gone into the hospital for tests after being "unwell for a couple of weeks" in the words of a university spokesperson. I hate to break it to the Cambridge spokesperson but Hawking has been unwell for longer than a couple of weeks. When you're in a wheelchair, can't speak, and can't move except for a tiny twitch of your finger...call me crazy, but that pretty much fits my definition of "not doing so hot." Plus his teeth are really messed up and I'm pretty sure his dick no longer works no matter how much Viagra he takes. Oh, but he's got a brilliant mind. Sorry, but I'd rather be a moron who can speak, walk around and use my equipment normally. I'm guessing he probably would too.

I wish I was a moron every day. I'd fit in and life would be easier. But, I get ya, Crabs.

I have worked in a variety of assisted living situations. There are two general types of people: the ones that have lost their minds and have all or most of their body functions and the others who have all their marbles and have lost the physical aspect of living. I hope every day that it's my mind that goes to "la-la" land and that I am not a prisoner in a broken down body that won't work. That is what I call HELL.

His teeth are so gross, they look like they havent come in contact with a toothbrush for quite a few years.

I believe the many meds he's on have ruined his teeth. They guy has been about 20 seconds from death for about the last 10 years!

He is a true genius, trapped in a broken body. I think we underestimate his impact on our understanding of physics. We will miss him when he's gone.

You got your wish.

He is an amazing man who has done more even with his handicaps than I probably will ever do should I be lucky enough to live to 100. I wish him the best.

He's really a pretty sad case. He lived several years past his expiration date, even with a wife/nurse that reportedly abused him. Smart guy, for sure.

handicapped people get abused more. just ask Marlee Matin
true people with alhiemers (spelling) have wasted minds but relatively heathly bodies and people with cripped twosted bodies due to age have their minds
go figure

IDK who the hell he is, but I feel bad for the guy, esp. if he was being abused, how can someone abuse a handicapped person? Rotten.

He is famous for his work in astrophysics. He has a condition in the same family as Lou Gehrig's disease in case anyone wonders. His mind is brilliant, but his body is quite handicapped.
And he is expected to recover from the virus that recently laid him up.
