Stephen Hawking

Today we learned the disease that Stephen Hawking has. The most interesting part was learning that Dr. Hawking is British.

He doesn't even have an accent!

He makes a hilarious comment about this in his semi-autobiographical film 'A Brief History of Time'--something like "my only regret is that they gave me an american accent..."

It is funny bc it's impossible to tell if he's joking or not with his monotone. Also didn't Lou Gehrig have ALS too? He's not as funny though.
