Does being smart make you ugly?
I think so....
I should not have made fun of Steven Hawking...He's kind of a celebrity so I thought he was fair game...
I should have gone with Ken Jennings from the start

I guess the opposite holds true too., the press keeps touting John Edwards as being good looking.

I dunno, Joe - if you're that brilliant, looks are pretty much secondary.
Hell, I'm a perfect example....  ..well, alright, not if ya ask Mrs. Crafty, I guess... |

Yeah, George the Second is as dumb as a freakin' doorknob - but ya gotta realize it wasn't a beauty contest, it's just nepotism at it's very best -
Or very worst, as the case may be  |

I'm amazed Stephen Hawking has made it this far.
Isn't ALS usually fatal?
I hope he gets to figure out his Grand Unification Theory before he leaves this existence.

Joe....sorry, that is just plain mean, even if it was in jest.....
The man has an incredible mind, and because he has a particular disease, he just happens to look like that......not to mention that he has gone to great strides to over come his handicap to be able to share his brilliance with the rest of the world.........
Sorry, but ya all gotta grow up a bit..... |

Yeah, I agree with Steve in Mass. That was a little mean, the poor guy has ALS but because his body is screwed it doesn't mean his mind is. He is one of histories great physicists and thinkers.
Now, that being said, I am very smart and also quite ugly so I guess your basic theory holds water in that way of thinking.  |
Why even try.........
