5 Feet of Fury

‘If he climbed the stairs like everyone else, you might never have heard of him’

Yeah, I always kinda thought that about Stephen Hawking.

I’m still trying to figure out how he left his wife.

You know: the wife who stood by him and changed his diapers for 20 years?

One can’t really say Hawking “ran off” with the wife of the man who made it possible for him to communicate (and get rich and famous), of course, but still.

I don’t mean [Miss Pittipatt voice] “how could he?” Come on: liberal atheist geniuses don’t have stupid old morals and repsonsibilites, like us ordinary folks. Cuz as Kate points out, it’s not like he DOES put on his pants one leg at a time, just like the rest of us…

No. I mean, physically, how?

Can you picture it?

Robot voice: “Hon.Ey.I’m.Lea.Ving.You.”

Wife: “Oh, yeah. Well, screw you — I’ve seen Kiss of Death.”
