"But I'm honored to be an inspiring role model. Thank you," said Hawking, a Cambridge University professor. ----------------------------- Woo-Hoo! --------------------------------- "We all need goals to aim for and my motto is still 'The more you practice, the luckier you get'." --------------------------------------------------

The Statutory Ape 2004-10-06 20:53:01 ET Ever heard of this guy? http://www.mchawking.com/

LeoZ 2004-10-06 20:53:37 ET Actually I've heard of him but I never heard his music.

The Statutory Ape 2004-10-06 20:54:40 ET I think there may be some free downloads on the site.

The Statutory Ape 2004-10-06 20:54:51 ET It's really fucking hilarious.

LeoZ 2004-10-06 20:56:38 ET Hmmm.. I watched that flash video on his site. The rhymes are terrible. I probably can do much better once I get a good text-to-speech program.

The Statutory Ape 2004-10-06 20:57:30 ET Damn it. The only good song he has up for download is "Why Won't Jesse Helms Just Hurry Up And Die?" There might be more elsewhere though.
