Winds of Destiny, Change! | |
| Tomorrow, the Stars / int_12b045 | comment |
Winds of Destiny, Change: In "The Report On The Barnhouse Effect", a Short Story by Kurt Vonnegut, Prof. Arthur Barnhouse develops the ability to alter probability by keeping a particular series of thoughts in his head. Initially, he used it to roll snake-eyes on two dice (50 consecutive times). With practice, he was able to manipulate probability to cause machines to fail at will around himself. Afraid of being turned into a Human Weapon, Prof. Barnhouse goes into hiding and dedicates his life to rendering all weapons inert via his power. | |
