I'm fucking shocked he lived so long and yet his death is still a surprise.

Well we all know he'll be playing poker with Albert Einstein, Sir Isaac Newton and an android in the future.

fftopic:: this clip is made even better by the fact the guy who played Einstein later played Bishop Brennan in Father Ted

I hope they cremate him and then shoot his ashes into space. Body and spirit into the cosmos.

It's a sad world when the death of real heroes like Neil Armstrong and Stephen Hawking seem to be barely noticed.

I apologize for semi-shitposting, but I couldn't pass these up.

 

[AnOminous]

Actual sorrowful content.

 

[CrazyRandomZyn]

Our boy Stephen Hawking got half a page at The Heavens: The World Book Encyclopedia of Science. Volume 1
I also sobbed when Tyrese made that Tweet.

 

[Can I get an Amen?]

The world feels a little bit way more stupider now.

Meh, my IQ is higher than his.

@ Booty hurt Feminists, they need to shut their collective pieholes. This "mysogynist" made more progress in 60 decades and contributed much more than the Third Wave Slut Walks/Pussy Hats combined.
Im not crying, I'm not sobbing...!

 

[LN 910]

The opposite of a lolcow.

 

[Uncle Warren]

 

[SPARKLETWAT]

He wanted to tell Einstein "Happy birthday" in person and eat a slice of pie.

 

[Positron]

For a change, peer into the black hole that is the human mind:

I can get behind the following tweet though; I'm sick of "inspiration porn" myself. But do you really expect "journalists" to know enough science to talk about it?!

 

[Vex Overmind]

May Stephen Hawking become one with the Omnissiah.

 

[Krispum Western Chumbler]

Stephen Hawking dead, Ashley Isaacs still alive.... what a cruel world it is.
