Right up there with Einstein.
Think of how much more he could have done for science if he didn't have ALS. Amazing what he accomplished with it.

a year+ ago, my cousins, some friends, and I had talked about doing a celebrity deathpool for money, $100 per participant....it had some pretty interesting 'rules' and rollovers of the pot. We never got it going, and pretty much forgot about it until March 3 when I was reminded about it reading an article about Stephen Hawking, and was like "man, that guy's gonna die soo-WAAAAAAIT, DEATHPOOL!"
Texted cousin that day, agreed that we're gonna get it started up...I effectively called dibs on Hawking, however deathpool hasn't started yet....

from a co-worker of his that runs a pool w/ his friends....I forget what they were, but remember thinking they made for an interesting gamble, and could lead to big(ger) pots. People could join in at any time with some additional stipulations, and (i forget what they were, but) there were some events / anomalies that would reset the 'contest', and the pot would rollover w/ new buy-ins
right now, EVERYONE is available.
except Stephen Hawking, obviously.

I always thought he sounded more like WOPR than anything.
