Running a studious finger along the spines of my bookcase this morning I flicked out Steven Hawkings' 'A Brief History Of Time'.Strangely,I found myself reading the foreword in the eminent Professors electronic staccato "THEE HISS-TOR-REE ORV THEE YO-NEE-VERSE" etc.The introduction seemed pleasingly straightforward and surprisingly graspable.I had chosen well-by lunchtime I would no doubt be au fait with black holes and antimatter parallel universes.
By page three my learned frown had turned to glazed confusion and within ten minutes I found myself flicking through the pages of VIZ-THE SAUSAGE SANDWICH instead.I consoled myself with the thought that, unlike the redoubtable Mr. Hawking,I may never unravel the enigma of creation,but given appropriate footwear,I would kick his ass over 100 metres.
Probably.
