3.14 Einsteins birthday. Hawking's passing. Sad, but oddly fitting.

One of the things that always interests me about the guy is that he can't talk but has probably one of the most well-known speaking voices in modern history. And it was all his.

Edited because when I read it I made it sound like today's voice synthesizers are better than they probably really are and the point was that those synthesizers will always be 'Hawking's voice'.
