Good read, makes me want to read some Indian mythology. I can't imagine what Oppenheimer, a pacifist must have felt knowing what he had a hand in. I'd like to read more about him too. Thanks for the link.

To me his line is up there with One small step for man in terms of words fitting and even surpassing an occasion. Whenever I think about stuff like this I get really fuzzy inside about the sheer wonder of language, the greatest invention in history -- and then I go off and frantically bang words together to see what I come up with.
