Now Who Will Replace Newton?

"Vampire!!! Stephen Hawking is retiring!!!"  That what my friend's status message said.  Well, I edited it to be mommy-friendly.  His word was a bit shorter and had more rhyming potential.  I might use language that's a little less emphatic, but my sentiment's the same.

This was the first I'd heard of this, but a quick google search tells me the news is about a month old.  It's still sad though; he's been an important part of our dinner conversations for a long time. 

Here's to Stephen Hawking; Congratulations on a long, successful and impressive career!
