Hawking - I'm A PC

Atheist
In a shocking statement to the U.K's Guardian newspaper, legendary British boffin, Stephen Hawking, has condemned millions of worn-out computers to a horrifying eternity of non-existence.

"There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark." 
Fairy Story
According to Hawking, human brains are also computers and will share the same fate as their silicon counterparts.

"I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail," said the controversial scientist to stunned reporters.

Hawking, who believes in aggressive, nomadic aliens, told the newspaper "I'm in no hurry to die."

Rumours that Pope Benedict has challenged the zany astrophysicist to an arm wrestling contest in St. Peter's Square have been denied by the Vatican.

God bless,

He gives disabled people a bad name...

Alright there, Born Again American. Hawking thinks that gravity has replaced God. Not a deity I'd care to worship...

God bless.

I'm not surprised that he believes in aliens. They aren't a threat though.

In the top photo, Mr Spock's less gifted brother seems to be making a complete mess of giving Hawking a Vulcan Death Grip.

I'm just a rather ordinary person with a whole bunch of common sense. Once in a while I actually tap into that common sense but not often enough to do any real damage ;-)

I've plowed through many of Hawking's books and have not found him to be the brilliant person most seem to think he is. That's just my opinion...

My word verification is "troll." Have no idea of the importance of that but it just caught my ADD brain like a shiny object.

Another fine missive, Parson!

All this atheist insistence in scolding believers smacks of whistling past the graveyard to me...

LSP said...

Well spotted ASE! I may disagree with Hawking, but it's not every man who is brave enough to risk an audience with The Commander.

No wonder he's scared of the aliens.

One day, Adrienne, I'll have to summon up the stamina to complete the hawking reading assignment...

Interesting verification thing.

I know what you mean Silverfiddle - you'd think that our celebrity atheists might be a bit less concerned about the whole God business. Then again, they'd sell fewer books.

So if my brain is just a computer, how do I stop pop up ads in my mind?

Just read A Brief History of Time. That should do the trick, Infidel.
