There are two different types of crackpots. the amusing and the vicious.
Despite Tony Hollick's attack on the memory of a very great man I honestly
wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt and put him in the amusing
category, and when in the middle of a muddled description of quantum mechanics
he started to rant about flying saucers, false teeth, and electrically powered
roller skates I thought there was real hope, but then he said this:

"I don't think much of Hawking's ideas. Look what his mind did to his poor
body... Would you want that to happen to you?"

Suddenly I stopped laughing and knew which category to put Mr. Hollick into.
