#1 How 'bout Joe Biden? He's always telling us how greater and greater numbers of people out of work is "a success." Got to be some advanced math in that...

#2 It has amazed me that Prof Hawking has lived this long with his health problems. An example for all.

#3 Something the Crisis Mongers don't want you to pay attention to. Checking census date will reveal we're all living longer and longer. In America, if certain communities wouldn't kill off their teenage and young adult males in lower primate territorial and behavior rituals, the life span data would be even more impressive.

#4 Re #3: You've obviously visited my former hometown of Chicago (southside esp.) or on a much more minor scale my current hometown of Tucson (southside esp.). Territorial ritual killings are a mainstay in both for "da yoot".

#5 IMHO, Hawking is somewhat of a charlatan, self-promoter, and general sob who has built his reputation on the backs of others. He's worked hard to erase reference to Jacob Bekenstein, who IMO deserves a Nobel, when he talks about (Bekenstein-)Hawking radiation.

Considering all the adulation he's received, he has accomplished remarkably little, and has few notable awards.

I'll be interested to see who will be the next Lucasian Professor.

#6 I'll bet it's Dawkins (unfortunately).
