Default Stephen Hawking runs over Jim Carrey

Here is a nice little article from The Sun about exactly what the topic indicates. I figured some o' the folks on here might enjoy it.

So was Hawking trying to demonstrate how to go backward in time when that happened?

I found my respect for Dr Hawkins climbed when I found out he divorced his wife to shack with his nurse.

Yes I know it sets a poor moral example, but you got admire the guy's 'have a go' attitude.

Anybody doing bodily harm to Jim Carrey certainly has my respect.

Life imitates Futurama. Well, replace "Jim Carrey" with "Philip J. Fry". I wonder if they were discussing who got credit for discovering the "Carrey Hole".

I suspect that kilopi would personally throw Paulie Shorr under the wheels.

Ok, now you guys have done it. You have mentioned Jim Carrey, Jim Varney, and Pauly Shore in the same thread. Excuse me while I go and wash out my brain. Thanks a bunch.

Man, do you ever have it wrong. The King has nothing to do with it. The fourth comedian of the apocalypse is none other than.....Carrot Top.

(But then again, where does that leave Pee Wee? Or Yahoo Serious? Aargh!)

No-o -o-o-o-o-o-o! You've brought it up to six! Don't you realize what you have done? There are seven sequential judgments. Seven I tell you! And you just brought it up to six! A-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-h-h!!!!

Hey! Me too. :-)

Plus Adam is my brother.

But he also mentioned as a sidenote Pee wee and Yahoo serious (who is he/she?) .

The seventh as we all know is Jim Breuer. How i hate that comedian. He came to homecoming one year (we always bring famous comedians) he was nooed off the stage. Half the skit was him prtending his hand was a dog on top of a stool and doing things like going potty and other stuff.

Yahoo Serious played in a movie called, "Young Einstein" I think he is an Austrailian actor (not that that says anything about the rest of you guys, I mean us Yanks have a ton of horrible actors, but most of us are OK people!).

Not sure if you were asking about PeeWee or not, but I can only assume he meant PeeWee Herman. If you don't know who that is, then you are a lucky man.

Wasn't he the host of that gameshow "You Don't Know Jack" that lasted for about 20 minutes a few years ago?

I love that gameshow. One of the best gameshows ever made.


Nope Adam Sandler was not. It was Tom Gottleib as "Cookie" (i think he was the host in the frist), Peter B Spector (can't remeber his nickname) , and Phil Ridarelli (Schmitty).

No, no. I meant Peewee Herman, not Adam Sandler! Also, if you liked the gameshow, you might like the computer game. Lots of fun!
