O/T Stephen Hawking rushed to hospital <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090420/ap_on_re_eu/eu_britain_hawking" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090420/ap_on_re_eu/eu_britain_hawking</a> I am astounded this guy has lived as long as he has. I know of no other instance where someone lived for 46-years with ALS. He was originally diagnosed only about 23-years after Lou Gehrig was.
