Probably. Still, a rather good laugh.

I always wondered, Hawking appears several times on the Simpsons , Futurama, Family Guy, and those appearances are rather mean, too.
Did he - like other guest stars - lend his void to the character, too?

Re: Stephen Hawking Game

On a serious note. Did Stephen Hawkings die? I thought he did but when I look up his bio on google I can't find a reference to it.

No, I'm rather sure he's alive...

Well that's good. He is one of the smartest people of our time. It's good that he is still with us then!!!

Re: Stephen Hawking Game

I wonder if he sees this the same way?!
Would he be the man he is today without his disabilities?
Could it be that his disease triggered the genius inside of him to strive day and night to leave his mark in this world so everyone remembers?
Wouldn't the same disease bring most of us to our knees praying for release from this live if it happened to us?
Please don't misunderstand, I have deepest respect for Mr. Hawkings but did you every think about it?

Re: Stephen Hawking Game

He suffers from a so-called "Motor Neurone Disease".

Basically he has only very little control over his muscles. He needs a voice-synthesizer to speak.

Normally this disease shortens the life-expectancy considerably. It seems to be kind of a miracle he's still alive.
