Random influxes of strangers in April and July... we should expect that again in early October, I believe.  The weekend of curses also appears to change its timing along with the season.  Can we expect the third weekend to be cursed during the autumn months?  Perhaps a tangible pattern would be asking too much of the deities.

I've had a fair amount

Atomic warfare's really meant to be a last resort. Or in theory at least.

[somekindofsin]

Understandable, of course, but why does it exist? Why on earth would it be necessary to obliterate an entire city?

[2ndnightshift]

I don't know. It shouldn't be necessary. I guess it started out as pure scientific pursuit for the next big thing. And when the Commies are shifting their interests too it ends up being an arms race.

The Commies? Oh, right--Communists, yes.

Right, I see a bit of sense in it. Can you also explain why modern scientists are attempting to control antimatter? I can't for the life of me conceive of a situation in which I'd care to create something that, by virtue of its sheer existence, can destroy the entire planet.

Antimatter? Like a blackhole? That's science fiction ....isn't it?

[somekindofsin]

No, no... not at all like that.

Although I did read about it in a book from the City's library. I suppose it could be applicable to some other world.
