One of the Hindi stories of creation has the god Vishnu sleeping on an eternally long snake, dreaming the world into existence. But what happens, as the thought occurred to me, when he wakes up?
What do you guys think? |

Legend has it that there is a temple in Tibet which houses 64 discs of ascending size on a spike. Beside this spike are two other spikes. A bunch of monks are busy moving the discs from the first spike to the last. They can only move one disc at a time, and a larger disc may never be higher on a spike than a smaller disc. Supposedly, when they finish their task, the world will come to an end.
