Stephen Hawking crashed a stag party

Nine lads, all dressed as bananaman, hanging out with the world's most famous theoretical physicists.

These lads went out on a stag, and came back with one hell of a photo.

Chris Hallam, aged 29 – the one pointing in the photo – was out on his stag night with his other friends, all dressed as The Dandy and The Beano character Bananaman, when they happened upon Professor Stephen Hawking.

According to a BBC news interview, "Mr Hallam said Prof Hawking had a 'really big smile on his face' when the group asked him if he wanted to join them for a drink, but they went their separate ways."

If only. The barman would have thought he'd been written into a bad joke.
