Good lord, that is kickass.

Noticed a code mistake, though: The azoth heading is currently linked to the polywater article.

That was an interesting way to differentiate the two universal solvents, azoth and alkahest, by the way: have azoth act like Azathoth. Connections to Rainbow Effect? Oh, hell yes.

I'm reminded of a quote from Oppenheimer watching the first nuclear mushroom cloud:

"I remember the words of the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita, Shiva, to impress the prince takes on his multi-armed form, and says 'now I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds'..."

Oh man. I'm a physicist, and I've got a massive smile on my face -- I didn't think it was possible for Richard Feynman to get even cooler! :D

I badly need to gather together some of my fellow physicist-gamers, and give this one a shot...

Awesomeness.

Azoth - Damn. Well, the Azoth article wasn't particularly apros po, anyway.

Kiero - That quote was, in fact, the genesis of this article. (I didn't mention it in the text cuz it's in the flash fic.)

nfb - If you do run this, please write up an AP report and, if you do write an AP report, make sure I see it! :)
