Typical. Person that became famous of being on the verge of dying decades ago then dies at 76.DBTrek wrote:Making it to 76 with ALS is no small feat. Well done. Hope you get a better deal in the next life, Stephen.

The media wouldn't have fallen in love with the professor like it did now. And Hawking enjoyed the limelight every second of his long life.
