It's great to see that one of the finest minds in science today has a self-deprecating sense of humor. Go, Professor Hawking!

Imagine what it would have been like if Hawking had won the bet:



BTW, that is really Hawkings 'voice'; he has appeared on the show a couple of times, once in person...

A brilliant man who has beaten all the odds, not many people in the world who would be delighted at the prospect of losing $100.

He has got a good sense of humour - I loved him in 'The Simpsons', when Homer asks:
