Funny passage from a brief history of time

[g.lemaitre]

It is worth reminding ourselves of this funny passage from A Brief History of Time

This picture of a hot early stage of the universe was first put forward by the scientist George Gamow in a famous paper written in 1948 with a student of his, Ralph Alpher. Gamow had quite a sense of humor he persuaded the nuclear scientist Hans Bethe to add his name to the paper to make the list of authors “Alpher, Bethe, Gamow,”}

I wonder if Ralph Alpher knows Al Falfa.
