Now that we’ve established that not only could he survive under NHS, but that he did so quite well, is there any comment on how he would have done in The US?
The $100,000/illness & $1 million lifetime benefit cited by LPN doesn’t seem to be sufficient. Madicaid, I suppose, might have kept him alive for a while, but would it have provided him with the means to deliver himself to humanity in the way he has?
Funny you should mention Newton. Last week’s IBD said if Sir Isaac was British he never would have discovered that “apple a day keeps the doctor away” thing. 
There can only be one Lucasian at a time?
Yes, and one (Sir George Stokes) held the position for more than 53 years (1849-1903).
Yes, and he’s been putting on all kinds of airs since. Streaking his hair. Thinking it makes him look distinguished. Well, I say it makes him look like a bloody skunk, it does!
Yes, and you must behead the current holder in a duel in order to take the chair yourself. Hawking is surprisingly handy with a broadsword.
He finally figured out how to use The Force. Ever since, they can’t stop him from flying all over the campus.
He also resurrected the cat.
Well, Hawkin is also blonde (real, not bottled) is skinny and has blue eyes (real, not fake), so I don’t see why he shouldn’t be in all the tabloids.
Maybe Hawkin should get herpes.
