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).

<
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.

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.
