  • noahgelman, on 04/21/2009, -1/+103He's done more things while crippled then you have in your entire life
  • bobbykernels, on 04/21/2009, -0/+74Stephen Hawking doesn't die, he hibernates.
  • Stupidumb, on 04/21/2009, -1/+74One day, that ***** is gonna write a math formula that fixes crippled people if they just ***** look at it. They don't even need to understand it.
  • heystellah, on 04/21/2009, -3/+70Thank God ! Oh wait . . .
  • happy84k, on 04/21/2009, -1/+66naah, he's a winner, you're a loser sir.
  • FishHammer, on 04/21/2009, -1/+64I felt really stupid afterward.
  • NaziHatinChimp, on 04/21/2009, -3/+63Yeah! Can't want for his new show.
  • Spo8, on 04/21/2009, -0/+55http://hawkingquakemaster.ytmnd.com/
  • ManUnitdFan, on 04/21/2009, -2/+56I can't tell if that's sarcasm or not, but if it is, I'm digging you down anyways for not being obvious enough.
  • c010rb1indusa, on 04/21/2009, -1/+52Good news, The Universe needs him.
  • angelgabe, on 04/21/2009, -0/+43Nothing but love for the Hawking.
  • AndrewMoyer, on 04/21/2009, -0/+36LOL I probably would have if I didn't read the headline yesterday that he was critically ill.
  • Myztry, on 04/21/2009, -0/+35He just went in for a technology refit. He's fine now.

  • hauntedchippy, on 04/21/2009, -1/+35High five!
  • duggmeister, on 04/21/2009, -1/+34[robot voice] COUGH [pause] COUGH [pause] COUGH
  • costumemaker, on 04/21/2009, -1/+33oh man thats ***** cold.. best laugh I have had all month though
  • Cabose, on 04/21/2009, -1/+31The Hawkman Cometh!
  • AmyVernon, on 04/21/2009, -0/+25Yay!
  • RemuS02, on 04/21/2009, -0/+23I think you meant:

    GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE!
  • NathanielJ, on 04/21/2009, -0/+23...which is quite serious for a 67-year-old who has been suffering from ALS for 40 years.
  • jakash, on 04/21/2009, -1/+23I hope he lives a long and prosperous life... this genius deserves it.
  • alwaysnomadic, on 04/21/2009, -1/+22He's less physically handicapped than you are mentally crippled
  • lovek, on 04/21/2009, -3/+24Can you imagine if he'd had a near-death experience during this time? The next print of A Brief History of Time now starts with the line "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
  • Solkre, on 04/21/2009, -0/+20I can't imagine the difficulties he puts up with; but if the man wanted to ever ends his life, he's more than articulate enough to make that clear.
  • AZExile, on 04/21/2009, -0/+19Hawking has always been very agnostic. One of my favorite quotes is from him (gotta go reference my facebook wall...)

    "The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired." - Stephen Hawking
  • BenTheTank, on 04/21/2009, -0/+19Then I will be expecting him in more episodes of the Simpsons.
  • kplo, on 04/21/2009, -0/+19I saw him once, at a chamber concert in Cambridge. Easily the best celeb sighting I've had yet.
  • Spo8, on 04/21/2009, -0/+19Stephen Hawking is one badass *****.

    *****, he'll close you off like a non-sustaining wormhole.
  • kd420, on 04/21/2009, -0/+18Such good news. Despite his medical condition, he still has such a great sense of humour, a love of science and an ability to share both with others! Get well soon!
  • staffell, on 04/21/2009, -1/+18Not gonna lie, I saw the submission title and thought he was going to recover from sclerosis. This is still good news though.
