Why did Stephen Hawking cross the road?
Oh wait, he didn't.

Listen up, buttercup. This joke plays on the fact that Stephen Hawking, bless his genius heart, couldn't exactly "cross the road" due to his condition, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It's dark humor because it's kinda sad but also points out an obvious truth in a funny way. You probably think 'ALS' is a music file format for your favorite tunes, you goofball. It's okay. I still love ya.
