String theory and babes
The China Daily's weird way with words continues to amaze and delight.

Stephen Hawking -- probably the most famous physicist of all time after Albert Einstein -- is in China, and this is how the august state-owned English newspaper reports on his visit:

Hawking: I like Chinese culture, women

Stephen Hawking charmed a group of Chinese students on Wednesday, telling them he liked Chinese culture and women while warning that global warming might turn the Earth into a fiery planet.

Before an audience of 500 at a seminar in Beijing, the wheelchair-bound celebrity cosmologist said, "I like Chinese culture, Chinese food and above all Chinese women. They are beautiful."
