- kingmustard, on 07/14/2009, -18/+557Stephen Hawking may be a genius, but he is not setting much of an example to kids by just sitting at his computer all day.
- eightyd, on 07/14/2009, -18/+485That is fantastic. A class act, hilarious guy, and the most brilliant scientist of my lifetime.
Kudos Stephen, you're looking just as sharp today. - inactive, on 07/14/2009, -3/+422He still got game.
http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/3/monicastephen. ... - AK911Carrera, on 07/14/2009, -4/+382What a pimp
- Boogiedude, on 07/14/2009, -29/+392He's aged terribly.
- emecks, on 07/14/2009, -16/+378But what did he *sound* like back then?
- bradallen18, on 07/14/2009, -2/+285like an englishman
- JFallon126, on 07/14/2009, -8/+290I love how Digg is so nerdy that a fairly pedestrian picture of Stephen Hawking gets to the front page.

- doobiebrother, on 07/14/2009, -2/+189Back then, the cane was for pimpin'.
- fluidfoundation, on 07/14/2009, -10/+184I think I could take him.
- sharkd, on 07/14/2009, -7/+176ALS does that.
It takes your independence, then your voice, then your dignity and finally, your life.
Hawking would be remarkable, if for nothing else, for the mere fact that he's lived with "Lou Gehrig's disease" for so long. Not to mention, also being a genius (and one of the Vice Presidential Action Rangers™.) - lnxfi, on 07/14/2009, -3/+145Little known fact: Stephen Hawking's brain actually took that picture.
- footbag01, on 07/14/2009, -3/+110Would've though he'd be too smart to get married. J/K!
- travisMarc, on 07/14/2009, -8/+111yes he is: http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/3/monicastephen. ...
(stolen from reddit) - baronvonnasty, on 07/14/2009, -1/+96He had driveby arguments.
- BryanG412, on 07/14/2009, -6/+96Must have been cold outside that day...
- inactive, on 07/14/2009, -4/+88Digg is nerdy? I thought it was mostly talk about George Bush and lolcats, by 28 year olds in their moms basements. Slashdot is nerdy.
- Rodalli, on 07/14/2009, -2/+68It sounds to me like you did believe her.
- WanderingGuru, on 07/14/2009, -2/+67Is that chick on the right giving him bunny ears? That just doesn't seem right... he can't even turn his head to see what's going on.
- defectDS, on 07/14/2009, -2/+66I don't think that means what... you think it... does.
- appleseed1234, on 07/14/2009, -0/+64Early stages, I think he found out he had ALS at the beginning of the decade and was largely immobile by the end.
That sounds horrible, but he's one of the luckiest. My neighbor passed away just a year and a half after being diagnosed, and most don't live much longer. - GaussWaffle, on 07/14/2009, -1/+59Did anyone else go back and check the picture after reading this?
- inactive, on 07/14/2009, -2/+59i wonder if general public would even heard of him if he would not have been in that wheelchair and speaking by voice-synthesizer... would his theories alone would make him standout over all the other physics professors around the world...
- Slackdragon, on 07/14/2009, -0/+51He has to keep his skills sharp at Quake.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OT3c5gj9XLA - UK31337, on 07/14/2009, -0/+49There is a BBC documentary from a few years ago that features part of an old interview with him speaking with his real voice.
Sadly, I've never been able to track down the clip but it does exist. I want to know too what he actually used to sound like. - theOster, on 07/14/2009, -2/+47"if you are LOOKING for TROUBLE. you've found IT."
- inactive, on 07/14/2009, -1/+44science chicks rule
- CoreyTamas, on 07/14/2009, -0/+42Were you thinking of Stephen Hawking, the dentist from Fort Wayne, Indiana?
Cause I make that mistake all the time, myself. - Eldorian, on 07/14/2009, -3/+45Glad it's here.. .I don't read reddit because of dbags like you that bitch and moan here on Digg. Sounds like a ***** place with ***** people.
- Akairenn, on 07/14/2009, -4/+46I'm pretty sure that the only thing that keeps our universe intact is Stephen Hawking.
- myempyrean, on 07/14/2009, -2/+43Not with that cane hes holding...
- dijkstra22, on 07/14/2009, -2/+42They said he'd be dead in two years.
- LittleDas, on 07/15/2009, -1/+41LIKE A BOSS
- Rockiroad278, on 07/14/2009, -1/+41"Hay guys! Wanna play some D&D?"
My hero :) - inactive, on 07/14/2009, -3/+42Oh, THAT Stephen Hawking!
- fluidfoundation, on 07/14/2009, -5/+44http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_RLY%3F
- DarkoKun, on 07/14/2009, -3/+42though
- ltkerr0r, on 07/14/2009, -2/+40lol, you said "cane"
- KunoJ, on 07/14/2009, -3/+40...with a burger.
- ifruit, on 07/14/2009, -4/+41Check out the big brain on Brett.
- 10lbhammer, on 07/14/2009, -3/+38...with a lead pipe.
- inactive, on 07/14/2009, -3/+37Like .... in multi-variable differential calculus? You had better brush up on your derivatives bud.
Otherwise he's gonna skull ***** you with math.! - Grandpohbah, on 07/14/2009, -1/+35He's not famous for being a nice guy... just for being REALLY smart. Just because you have a disability doesn't mean you need to be nice.
The Math doesn't care if you are the life of the party, or if your voice comes out of a little box. - inactive, on 07/14/2009, -1/+34His eyes can integrate faster than your core2duo
- Gr00ver, on 07/14/2009, -3/+36though
- EddiePotato, on 07/14/2009, -6/+38though
- macmcraeart, on 07/15/2009, -1/+33don't forget about atheism. Diggers hate the bronze age religions....
- 4AntiStupid, on 07/14/2009, -1/+33I don't think I'd say the "most" brilliant. Maybe "one of the most". He's just famous unlike most of the top people in the field.
- daewon, on 07/14/2009, -10/+41he does have ALS jackass
