Stephen Hawking died.
Ouch. I know it's a miracle that we had him as long as we did, but it still hurts.
Of course I have to link to the TNG poker game
Dogbert goes to fetch Professor Hawking
His children take the Ice Bucket Challenge in his stead
His daughter Lucy talks a bit about him
He performs Monty Python's Galaxy Song
Clip of him performing as the new voice of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in the Hexagonal Phase of the radio show. Since it's based on And Another Thing, which I don't consider a real entry in the series, I don't care to listen to the rest, but I still consider it a kick to hear him here.
Clip of him performing as Deep Thought in a documentary about the Hitchhiker's Guide. It's a shame he couldn't deliver that "42" punchline with the same gravitas as Valentine Dyall did in the TV series.
Incidentally, I never did get around to watching The Theory of Everything. I've read about him and know how depressing it's going to get, why torture myself again?
