I was stuck behind him recently and it was amusing to see people's faces double take as they went by. They'd turn to their partner etc. with a bemused look and saying (in whatever language) isn't that ermmm.... Generally most people are used to him and he's been somewhat overshadowed now Lily Cole is here. Poor woman can't even go to Boots without being papped.

Although, I personally would not call it 'simple' or light reading for that matter, but I wasn't a physics major or anything like that. You have to consider that many people don't really read much at all except what they have too. In such cases, Hawking's stuff may be difficult for them. But, this guy is a weirdo. "I don't know what he's talking about, but I'm getting a tatoo of him!" WTF you are not the only person to understand it.

I’m sure he understood the words “the”, “and”, and “but”.

I found it the usual pop-science stuff, various concepts explained in terms which should be comprehensible to the average lay-person. I'm still surprised how many people don't understand any part of it. Is this tattooed gentleman celebrating his own bafflement? Am I the only person who thought that A Brief History of Time was pretty simple to understand?
