Sometimes the world works in mysterious ways.
Take for example this tweet, highlighting just that – Stephen Hawking was born January 8, 1942, on the 300th anniversary of Galileo’s death. He died yesterday, March 14th, on the anniversary of Einstein’s birth.
You know, because time is circular, man – no beginning, no end.
Ozzie David Warner isn’t the most popular man in South Africa right now, having lashed out at Quinton de Kock and verbally abused the Proteas keeper and his family, so how’s this for an interesting turn of events?
The Ozzies are currently staying at The Cullinan hotel, and David has his wife Candice [below] and their two daughters with him.
Also in town are the Blues, here for their Super Rugby encounter against the Stormers on Saturday. You know who plays for the Blues, right?
Hey look, it’s Sonny Bill Williams. Give us a wave, mate.
The Australian cricketers have left for a three-day safari, but the Blues will still be around when they return.
I’m sure you are up to speed with why this is making headlines, but Sport24 spell it out below:
Williams and the Warners have dominated headlines in recent weeks following a row between Warner and Proteas wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock in the first Test in Durban earlier this month.
De Kock is accused of passing a remark regarding Warner’s wife and an infamous ‘toilet tryst’ encounter in a Sydney toilet cubicle back in 2007 with Williams.
A cellphone photo of the pair in a compromising position, taken by a witness reaching under the cubicle, was posted online and made headlines around the world.
De Kock was subsequently fined for provoking Warner, which led to South African fans wearing masks featuring Williams’ face in an attempt to further humiliate Warner in the second Test in Port Elizabeth.
Chuck Vernon Philander’s Twitter ‘hack’ last night into the mix and you have all the ingredients for a very spicy encounter.
You know how we should let David Warner know we aren’t fans? Boo like hell when he walks out, tell him he’s kak, whatever you want.
You know how we shouldn’t? By reducing ourselves to this – ‘slut shaming’ is so last year.
