I've just got one question for Hawking: He claims that small black-holes cannot exist indefinitely (the reason we can't find them) because they slowly leak matter into space. Since time virtually stands still at the event horizon of a black hole, how long will it take for them to leak this matter off?
He has some interesting ideas...some which contradict Einstein. (Einstein: God does not play dice. Hawking: Not only does God play dice, but he throws them where we can't see them.)
I favor Einstein...but Hawking does have some interesting ideas. I just can't download 33 megs at the moment.

Back in the Jurassic Era when I was using a Radio Shack CoCo3 computer, I bought a speech pack that would plug into it. Sounded just like him. I would leave 'obscene' messages on some of my bud's answering machines using it, ".....this is Steven Hawking....what are you wearing?".
Hawking's always been a personal fave, an incredible mind and great wit trapped in that body. One of my first handles on the web was "EinHawk" as a personal in-joke homage to the 2 giants of physics.

yeah, now you can only getty punny and pranky with people you know and who won't sue you.
I hate to think of kids today being deprived of the joy of calling a number and asking whoever answers the fon if their "refrigerator is running".
Someone got me good one time with "Hello, is this Mr. Pike?' - I sez "No" - guy on the other end sez "Sorry, I must have the wrong fish." hahahaha!!
