RIP.

Oh dang, should have looked before I posted in the Other News thread...

I believe your fingers might have been looking for the off-by-one thread.

Rest in peace, may his legacy be as eternal as the stardust he was made of

My wife and I have decided our son who will be born in the next few weeks will be named after him.
RIP

@jaloopa Right now my puppy (that I pick up in 10 days) is named after him (Hawking). His registered name will be "Understanding the Universe". I haven't decided if he'll keep the call name, but I'm leaning towards it (I want to meet him first!).

While I imagine dying must have been a bugger, I think if he would have been happy to go on Pi day.

I imagine that after so long with a wasting disease like that, death can come as a relief, an escape from pain.

Still a month and a half until 31st April, though.

We're having one of those this year then?

I love Brief History of Time and the explanation of the 2d dog.
But this is old skool internet at its best:

The camera operator I was with wanted to make a last minute adjustment to his lighting and so he asked Prof Hawking's staff if he could pull out one of the plugs in the office so that he could use the socket for his equipment.
Without waiting for a response he pulled the plug and the room was filled with a deafening siren.
Prof Hawking then slouched forward and I feared that my colleague had inadvertently unplugged a vital piece of life-support equipment.
Fortunately, it was the alarm to the uninterruptable power supply to his office computer and he was slouched forward with mirth at our incompetence.

@brisingraerowing I always assumed that his caregivers were humble geniuses who gave him the credit.

I think there's a mistake in the title. Unless 76 = 87.
-
@anonymous234 I rate the title a solid 5/7.

Given who we're talking about, I'm sure there are significant relativistic effects at play.
