Stephen Hawkings is fighting for his life in a Cambridge hospital, once again proving the absurdity of being human. The man's mind can dance algorithms around the stars, he can write books without moving more than his eyelids, yet he's in critical condition because in his delicate condition a severe cold is life threatening.
If you're not familiar with his work, the major splash he made was writing in A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME that the universe was expanding and that very expansion was linked to time moving forward. He then contended that eventually the universe would contract and time would move backwards, resulting in us being forced to live our lives backwards. Some heavy shit from a scientist. He would retract that theory one year later.
A buddy's Dad is a scientist and he's always complaining that while the world regards Hawkings as our top mind, in the scientific community he's considered nothing more than a novelty act - a joke. Some joke. I spent a year planning to live my life backwards, four hundred billion years from now.
Didn't he just sign a contract to work for University of Waterloo? No wonder he's feeling ill.
Get well soon.

Where exactly did Woody Allen take the right turn in to cruddiness and dating his adopted daughter?
The mind of a Jewish comedian is a terrible thing to look too closely at. It seems safe to say however, that they become preoccupied with obtaining the unobtainable. Ex: Jerry Seinfeld met his wife on her honeymoon. What surprised me is that Woody is still married to his adopted daughter. Now that's strange!
