It’s the same in Sydney, in which the top story was the hit & run of a 6-year old girl at Smithfield. The Hawking death story didn’t came on until 5:10pm.

Oh my God what the fuck Nine.

I spent the whole day walking around outside interviewing people for an article and not once did I think it was abnormally windy.

Not on Seven News Sydney, in which a local story involving drug & ice, as well as general crime statistics, was the top story. It was instead the 2nd story.

Over on Nine, it was the top story.

I don’t remember this scene. Stephen Hawking, Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton and Data play poker on Star Trek: The Next Generation.

I wonder if there will be any special screenings of other programs Hawking appeared in, like The Big Bang Theory and The Simpsons.
