Nov 27 2008Guy Gets Stephen Hawking Tattoo
"Science fan" Jack Newton got Stephen Hawking's likeness tattooed on his leg in tribute to the world famous physicist (who is 66 and still rollin').
The tattoo - complete with a Monty Python line from the classic Life of Brian film 'He's not the messiah. He's a very naughty boy' written underneath it - has already won two trophies at tattoo conventions.
Mr Newton said: "I read A Brief History of Time, but to be honest I didn't understand a word, but I respect the man and that's why I got his face tattooed on my leg.
Good looking, Jack, but check this tat out -- BADOW! -- Carl F***ing Sagan bitch!

hmm.. by now i would have expected moose knuckle head to flip somebody or something off.... well i guess you cant trust calculators anymore. Proud to be a fellow geek and what better way than a tattoo..... well actually thats quite ironic, sorta. So in a matter of theory.... this tattoo is ruining the geek name! Holy f*** i had no idea what i just said

FAKE!!!!
This is an obvious photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is just like the tatoo Max got in the movie Never Back Down.

"It is the most important function of art and science to awaken this feeling and keep it alive in those who are receptive to it. "
Einstein said this and he would make a much better tattoo, what with his hair and all.

Any guy who gets a tat on his leg is f***ing GAY...no question, no argument...it's a pussy-assed place to get inked. Bottom line.

Weak Daisy, weak.
Posted nonetheless yes, but a little weak on this ostentatious (look it up stupid) american holiday where we should be 'thankful' the indians didn't win..

This "Science fan" must be one dumb # when he says: "but to be honest I didn't understand a word"
Now the first line of the book is: "A well-known scientist (some say it was Bertrand Russell) once gave a public lecture on astronomy."
Now taking his claim literally, does that mean he dosn't know the meaning of the word "A", or "on". I can understand about 4.5 words out of that sentance, and it's only the FIRST sentance.
Taking him figuratively surely he can understand that sentance ... it's not so hard ... cummon try ... and don't forget that breating out comes AFTER breating in, and repeats after that.
dumb #

It's so nice to read that no-one slagged stephen hawking off
thank f*** for that.

A Brief History of Time is a popular science book, it's not that "sciency". It's a fun read, and quite an easy one. The guy is either a moron, with no understanding of basic science or has the attention span and memory of a goldfish.

No way does Carl Sagan beat Stephen Hawking.
I announce this while engaging the Hawking drive on my spaceship.

This guy only did this to attract gay science nerd men...

"He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy."
That is priceless

@12
I think he's just trying to justify his decision in the face of its success. I wouldn't worry too much about the specifics of it.

Why is this odd? I've seen much weirder portrait tattoos... for example:
