Anyone know who Stephen Hawking is? You know, the theoretical physicist who wrote "A Brief History of Time?" Yeah, him.
Are you familiar with his physical condition? At about age 22, it was discovered he has ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease. They told him he might not make it to 25. He now rolls around in an electric wheelchair and speaks with the help of a computer. He holds a prestigious position at Cambridge University as the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics, a chair once filled by Isaac Newton. He was born on this day in 1942.
But it gets better: Professor Hawking intends to go into space in 2009.
Beat that.
