I've had this thought myself a few times. Like some kind of a twisted SeenSay, hell I think the voice is even the same and every time I see him I keep waiting on him to screw up and say "Ball... B-A-L-L...".
I began to suspect this especially when they tried to tell me Microsoft Software was enabling him to somehow communicate with his eyelids.

No, that would not be funny, in fact that would be downright disrespectful.
As I have said before on ATS, I have had the pleasure of meeting Prof. Hawking, and he is very much aware, and communicative.
Most of what you hear from him on the TV is pre-recorded for speed, it does actually take him some time to form full sentences, but given his condition, even that is remarkable.
He could even crack a smile (or he could those many years ago when I met him).edit on 7/1/13 by woogleuk because: (no reason given)

How utterly dis-respectful to a great human being. Imagine yourself inflicted with what he has, and all of the trouble it has caused him, and then reading something like this. Hang head in shame.
