Exactly. #### you, I won't do what you tell me!

It's kind of interesting given his long discussions on determinism and the weak anthropic principle that his birth, death and disease all appear to have been planned. A debilitating disease of one of the brightest humans ever only affects his body and leaves his mind working.

If this were a fictional story we would say it was too contrived

I think you could find someone famous who died on your birthday - not fate.

Mine, on my exact birthdate :


José de Jesús Angulo del Valle y Navarro, Mexican Roman Catholic bishop (b. 1888)
Adrien Borel, French psychiatrist (b. 1886)
Albert van der Sandt Centlivres, South African jurist, Chief Justice of South Africa (b. 1887)
Albert Divo, French race car driver (b. 1895)
Gen. Vladimir Grigoryevich Fyodorov, Soviet weapons designer and general during World War II (b. 1874)

And my birthday in general:

But not a top 5 Jurist ever.

It's random but contrived if it were fiction

The ashes of Professor Stephen Hawking will be interred at Westminster Abbey near the graves of Sir Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin, it has been announced.

The revered scientist died at the age of 76 last week.

The Dean of Westminster, the Very Reverend Dr John Hall, said: “It is entirely fitting that the remains of Professor Stephen Hawking are to be buried in the Abbey, near those of distinguished fellow scientists.

“Sir Isaac Newton was buried in the Abbey in 1727. Charles Darwin was buried beside Isaac Newton in 882.”
