Thanks, JoDeen.

Does anyone else remember this from required reading in high school? I didn't have to read it because our English teacher read it to us in class. I don't think she was spoiling us. I think she knew that was the only way to make sure EVERYONE in class had the benefit of experiencing this delightful classic.

I didn't know that story. I thought I did know where the title was coming from however. There is a short story by Isaac Asimov which I haven't re-read for a few decades, so my memory may be a bit off. In it, there was a remote sect of monks who believed that the purpose of the universe was to list the "Nine Billion Names of God" (the title of the story). The final line of the story was something like "Above in the sky, one by one, the stars were slowly winking out."

Thanks, John. I had not read that one.
