Stephen Hawking was a true prankster
Stephen Hawkins is famous for the enormous contributions he made to theoretical physics. He successfully predicted that black holes emitted radiation, which was proved in the 1970s. However, although his research subjects were serious, the man had a funny side and enjoyed playing pranks on other people.
Once, he almost caused the people interviewing him to have a heart attack by making them believe they had killed him. He is also said to have rolled over Prince Charles’ feet during a party in honor of the Heir’s induction into the Royal Society. The man was also known to drive his wheelchair with reckless abandon.
