Wanted

Stephen Hawking is looking for a research assistant - must have a caring nature and understand string theory.
In the farthest polar extremity of the brain from string theory, lives one of the most revered of the Vodou deities - Papa Legba. He is characterized as a sweet, crippled old man who walks with a stick. Behind this modest exterior, however, is a powerful force that facilitates and interprets communication between the spirits and the flesh - a pitiful appearance that conceals great strength and power.
I doubt that Professor Hawking practices Vodou. If he did, however, I would put significant probability on his met-tete (patron saint) being Papa Legba, and that his gros bon-ange (essence of his spirit) would unite with Papa when he falls into the arms of his ancestors.
I wish I understood string theory.
