Stephen Hawking, the well known theoretical physicist who has challenged theories by such geniuses as Albert Einstein, is getting an upgrade. Due to a long battle with Lou Gehrig’s Disease, Hawking has been confined to a wheel chair that, not only gets him around, but speaks for him along with other tasks. The computer to do all of this has been a PC running Windows XP, but no longer. Due to air on an upcoming episode of Pimp My Ride, Hawking’s wheelchair will be transformed into an amazingly impressive piece of machinery. The on board computer will be upgraded to an Apple computer running OS X. Also included will be a GPS navigation, DirecTV satellite television with Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii gaming consoles, robotic arms that can lift the equivalent of a Volkswagon, a lot of chrome, and spinner rims.

After trying out the new Apple computer, Hawking told us, “For my entire career, I have been trying to prove that black holes exist. All of this time, it was right in front of me. Windows must be one of the biggest black holes in the universe, because boy does it suck. Ha ha ha. I crack myself up.”
