I love that professor. Not only is he a brilliant scientist, but he also has a sense of humor. I also liked it when he bet a subscription to Pent House Magazine that black holes would never be found.

For some reason, I can't access www.mchawking.com
It says "You don't have permission to access / on this server." when I try to open the page.

Got any clues people?

I'm hesitant to believe he actually wrote that simply because he's probably the easiest person in the world to do an impression of. :)

Did he really write that?

He does do things like this. He also guest-starred on Futurama, and even made cameos on Star Trek: TNG and The Simpsons, . His close friend, Stephen Jay Gould, also did work for the Simpsons (when Lisa found the Angel). I don't know that he actually wrote that, but I think he certainly might have.

No. But he really liked the page, said so himself. :)
