< Minutes ago I received this e-mail from Stephen Hawking. < Greetings, Ed, < No apology necessary. , Quite frankly, when I read your report that I had died, it finally got me back to my senses. < Imagine, how stupid I must've been to come out with those ridiculous statements that there is NO GOD. My brain must've been inside my rectum. < I have since done some sincere soul-searching and am now happy to report that I'm completely in the Creator's corner. < I have attached a tape recording that will prove how I''ve changed my thinking (and I can assure you that I will attend no more atheists' picnics). < http://www.elihu.envy.nu/NeoPics/Sounds/Hawking1.wav < Hallelujah! < -- Your friend, Steve < PS: Please give me a call when you're in London < =================== < MINOR ERROR IN STEPHEN HAWKING OBIT < I've just sent this e-mail of apology to Professor Stephen Hawking at SWHawk...@damtp.cam.ac.uk < It is strictly confidential but you can read it only if you promise not to e-mail it to family or friends. < ================== < Greetings, Professor Hawking: < As you might've heard, I screwed up royally on Google the other day by publishing a News Bulletin that you were dead. < I sort of jumped the gun on your obituary -- an innocent mistake -- and truly wish you wouldn't hold it against me. < As you well know, we all goof now and then -- which is why, I suppose, some Wise Man long ago decided we should put erasers on the rear-end of pencils. < My erroneous report of your untimely passing was based on an obituary I had read in The Manchester Guardian, hich rarely screws up. < It reported on its Obituary page that a Stephen Hawking of Devonshire had gone to the Great Beyond because of that terrible accident at the London Zoo. Naturally, with the same name, I thought it was you. Then I noticed he was a pachydermologist -- the study of elephants -- and realized it had to be as different Stephen Hawking. < Here's my original story, just for the hell of it . . . < http://groups.google.com/group/alt.atheism/msg/85e2436082c2742c?hl=en& < Yes, I realize now that I acted too hasty and didn't double check that it indeed was you -- but , as we say here in America, it's now water over the bridge. < I might add that what added to my confusion was the hoax e-mail I later received from you "in Heaven." (Hell, we all know that's NOT where you're going to wind up for insulting God by saying He doesn't exist.) < Again, concerning my terrible mistake about reporting your untimely demise, I really wish you'll let bygones be bygones. < Steve, for your enjoyment -- and so there are no hard feelings -- I have enclosed a cute article about how a lot of other famous people have been identified as being dead when they really weren't. < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_premature_obituaries < < Cordially , < Ed Conrad in Amerika < http://www.edconrad.org < P.S. -- Meanwhile, if you're not too busy abusing your brain cells by denying the existence of a Creator, here's another Web page that may interest you. < http://www.edconrad.com < http://groups.google.com/group/alt.fan.ed-conrad/browse_thread/thread/f7810305fb640f60/75e64db9baee6431?lnk=gst&q=jose+can+you+see#75e64db9baee6431 < ================ < IF THE NATIVITY TOOK PLACE IN THE COMPUTER AGE . . . < http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkHNNPM7pJA < ============ < WORLD'S LARGEST NEWSPAPERS < http://www.edconrad.com/pics/SaveTheWhale.jpg < Rank Country Circulation 1.
