Didn't everybody read Hawking's A Brief History of Time? It sold only 9 million copies and stayed on Sunday Times bestseller list for 237 weeks.

I haven't read it, and I'm informed that it's actually a fairly unapproachable book. Nice ideas, though, and the guy is clearly a genius.

Thank you Squinky for the nod on the Avatar. Daddy's proud you even know who it is. |

Sadly, given the book was so difficult for him to write, the translation is very poor. They've got the title wrong for a start. Scaphandre is Diving Suit the intended image being his mind (the butterfly) being trapped in his body, a humanoid form it can't move (the diving suit) But he want's to fly. (as already done to death. I hate how quickly this thing moves on) Quote:

It is a tough decision. But watching your shirt rlpw doesn't require sunglasses.
Still....two handsome men with two pretty evil shirts. Will you be meeting at dawn? Since there can be only one...... *dramatic music*
