Hawking actually recorded all that dialog himself, on his vocoder thingy. He found it a hoot to be in The Simpsons! Stephen Hawking This article is about the character. For the guest star, see Stephen Hawking. "Your theory of a donut-shaped universe is intriguing, Homer. I may have to steal it." ―Stephen Hawking[src] Stephen Hawking Artwork of Stephen Hawking from The Simpsons: Tapped Out Character Information Gender: Male ♂ Status: Alive Hair: Brown Occupation: Theoretical physicist First Appearance: "They Saved Lisa's Brain" Voiced by: Himself v • d • e • h Stephen Hawking is a British theoretical physicist. He has visited Springfield several times. Contents 1 Description 2 History 3 Non-canon 3.1 The Simpsons: Tapped Out 3.1.1 Stephen Hawking 3.1.2 Mecha Hawk 4 Behind the Laughter 5 Appearances 6 References Description Stephen Hawking is paralyzed and in a motorized wheelchair. The chair's features include a speech synthesizer, a toothbrush, a concealed extensible boxing glove, and a propeller which can deploy from the back of the chair and start spinning, essentially turning the chair into a miniature helicopter.[1] History Professor Hawking first visited Springfield when he heard that the local Mensa chapter had taken control of the city. He was hoping to see the town transformed into a perfect utopia under the leadership of the intellectual elite, but was dismayed to see it was more of a "fruitopia". Hawking said he wasn't sure which was the bigger disappointment: His own failure to formulate a unified field theory, or the Springfield intellectuals' failure to transform the town. Principal Skinner objected to the comparison, and Hawking used his chair's boxing glove to punch him. The townspeople revolted, and Hawking decided to make his escape. After accidentally deploying his chair's toothbrush (when he pressed the wrong button), Hawking activated his chair's propeller and flew away. When the townspeople began destroying a gazebo and Lisa was trapped inside, Hawking flew in and rescued her. After the chaos died down, Marge suggested going out for some beers, which Hawking said was the smartest idea he'd heard all day. At Moe's Tavern, Hawking and Homer had a pleasant conversation over a beer. Hawking was intrigued by Homer's "theory of a donut-shaped universe" and said he might have to steal it. When Homer tried to stick Hawking with the bar tab (by imitating the chair's speech synthesizer), Hawking used the boxing glove to punch Homer.[1] Professor Hawking attended a surprise party that Moe threw for Lenny. Homer inadvertently crashed the party and asked what Hawking was doing there, Hawking replied that he was now living in Springfield and had bought a Little Caesars restaurant. Later, when Homer struck up a friendship with Ray Magini, Homer was the only one who could see Ray and the rest of the family thought that Homer was imagining things. Hawking appeared and explained to Bart that a space-time discontinuity caused a miniature black hole that prevented him from seeing Ray at Builder's Barn.[2] The town later had a corn maze in which both Hawking and Homer managed to get lost. While Homer had to wait for Santa's Little Helper to come to the rescue, Hawking used his chair's propeller to fly out of the maze.[3] Hawking was also seen at Expressions, wearing gold jewellery, including a chain with the relativity equation (E=MC2), while spinning in circles to a song.[4] At a Simpson/Bouvier reunion party, one of the family members said that Hawking had asked her if he could steal her theory for his new book.[5] One time, when Homer was helping Bart with a homework assignment and trying to figure out what a cube was, he called Hawking for help. Professor Frink later called Hawking to ask the same question.[6] Hawking did additional equations in the film about Waverly Hills Elementary School's math team.[7] When Homer bought a hive he asked the owner why he was selling it because that'd be like Stephen Hawking selling his talking motorcycle.[8] Stephen Hawking is element Hw in Lisa's Table of Geeky Delights.[9] Non-canon The contents of this article or section are considered to be non-canon and therefore may not have actually happened or existed. When Homer is sucked into the third dimension he says that there is so much he doesn't know about astrophysics, and he wishes he had read "that book by that wheelchair guy."[10] Hawking was seen waiting in line to board the spaceship that was evacuating people from the Y2K apocalypse.[11] The Simpsons: Tapped Out Stephen Hawking https://simpsonswiki.com/wiki/Stephen_Hawking_(character)

Speaking scientifically.

Your logic is upside down: The order from the Football is not executed until the military officer quoted above authorizes and commands it. "For reasons which must by now be all too obvious."

His entirely legal, and indeed Constitutionally required, duty to tell the Executive NO: I AND THE REST OF THE NECESSARY OPERATIONAL EXECUTIONAL CHAIN SIMPLY WILL NOT COMPLY WITH YOUR ILLEGAL AND EXTRA-CONSTITUTIONAL ORDER would seem a good enough buffer.

Sorry, was it actually 2,000,000? Those darned zeroes!

How about: "...you will self-destruct..."!

Actually, a plutocracy and an oligarchy. But who's counting anyway?

Not legally possible. My whole point: the Constitutional military Chain of Command -- sworn obedience to the Constituon, NOT to the Executive -- is infinitely more powerful and durable than any feeble order the Executive could issue, if that order were illegal and unconstitutional. Don't you see? Madison & Washington & the other Framers foresaw that, if the Republic endured enough years, it would inevitably get a Trump. Just watch -- faIrly soon, I would think, from Mueller's recent moves -- the Constitutional trap doors start to operate.

But there is this small technicality that DT was 'elected' by (1) the queerness of the Electoral College (HRC won the popular vote by 20,000,000+), and (2) Putin's -- very effective -- meddling on social Medea.

Top general says he'd push back against 'illegal' nuclear strike order Washington (CNN)The top US nuclear commander said Saturday he would push back against an order from President Donald Trump for a nuclear strike if it were "illegal." Speaking at the Halifax International Security Forum in Nova Scotia, Canada, Gen. John Hyten, who is the commander of US Strategic Command, shared what would happen if he were ordered to launch a nuclear strike. "I provide advice to the President," Hyten said. "He'll tell me what to do, and if it's illegal, guess what's going to happen? I'm gonna say, 'Mr. President, that's illegal.' Guess what he's going to do? He's going to say, 'What would be legal?' And we'll come up with options of a mix of capabilities to respond to whatever the situation is, and that's the way it works. It's not that complicated." cont.: http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/18/politics/air-force-general-john-hyten-nuclear-strike-donald-trump/index.html

YEAH! Like THAT would work!

I have ridden around Germany on ze Autobahn, the driver an engineering software technologist and executive of very high competence, und ze fact of our going merrily along at somewhat rather more than 140mph did not worry at all. When ze prozpect of President Trump first appeared, some joked about moving to Canada. On reflection, I think Angela's realm is the only really safe, and sane, one today available. How history inflects.

This is very sad. Please infer no irony or anything in this tragic post. David Cassidy, 'Partridge Family' superstar, in critical condition (CNN) David Cassidy, the wildly popular '70s heartthrob who shot to fame when he starred and sang in TV's "The Partridge Family," is in critical condition with organ failure. Cassidy is being treated at a Fort Lauderdale, Florida, area hospital, longtime publicist Jo-Ann Geffen told CNN on Saturday. David Cassidy in 1971 "He is conscious and surrounded by family and friends, nothing is imminent and we are taking it day by day," Geffen said. She did not say what caused the organ failure. Cassidy, 67, told People magazine earlier this year he was battling dementia. A '70s superstar "The Partridge Family," a sitcom about a mother and five children who formed a rock 'n' roll band, gave Cassidy a national audience for his music. Cassidy, who played Keith Partridge on the show, captured the spirit of 1970s youth. David Cassidy in 2009. His wispy voice and wholesome persona broke out from the small screen. At the time, his fan club reportedly was bigger than those of Elvis Presley and The Beatles. The singer toured the world singing his hit songs, such as "I Think I Love You," filling concert halls with screaming teenage girls. Cassidy has spoken publicly in recent years about his struggles with alcohol. He was arrested for driving under the influence on three separate occasions during a four-year span between 2010 and 2014. Cassidy, in an interview with CNN in 2014, said his trouble with alcohol was "very humbling and it's also humiliating."

Ditto. No issues running it on a Dell Windows 10 machine. Working great, and indeed without the sluggishness that had been the FF norm for a while there.
