Stephen Hawking lectures on life
My favorite quote of the day comes from the great Stephen Hawking, who spoke at a lecture on intelligent life in the universe this week at George Washington University:
"Primitive life is very common and intelligent life is fairly rare – some would say it has yet to occur on earth."
In his famed computerized voice, the most brilliant mind of our time showed some comedic chops while addressing the issue of intelligent vs. unintelligent life existing elsewhere in the universe, :
"The discovery of the New World made a profound difference to the old. Just think we wouldn't have had a Big Mac or KFC."
If there was one thing I wasn't expecting to do while reading a report on a recent Stephen Hawking appeareance, it was giggle like a geeky school girl whilst pushing my glasses up on my nose. I hope it made you giggle too.
