Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer quoted the Bhagavad Gita when he saw the first nuclear test in history. He was reported to have said "Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." So I ask you, imagine you've just seen the first mushroom cloud in history. As a result of your work. What do you say? I can't top Dr. Oppenheimer's quote.

Muahahahaha, What transcendant beauty, what pure light, my precious creation the omega, bringer of death.

I really dont know what I would say, I'd probably just be laughing very hard.
