Wow, I never knew I shared a birthday with Arthur C. Clarke, although mine is a few years later... ;)

Also, I never realized that the middle initial stood for Charles, which happens to be my first name.

Now I feel special. :)

A congratulations to Aurthur C on his day, which makes him 90

Only 90 if you considered him 1 year old at birth.

2006 - 1917 = 89

He still looks very young. No more than 53 I'd say

Happy birthday Arthur...keep on writing!

Here's a few quotes I like:

If there are any gods whose chief concern is man, they can't be very important gods.

Sometimes I think we're alone in the universe, and sometimes I think we're not. In either case the idea is quite staggering.

We stand now at the turning point between two eras. Behind us is a past to which we can never return ... The coming of the rocket brought to an end a million years of isolation ... the childhood of our race was over and history as we know it began.

The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.

Sometimes I think we are alone in the universe, and sometimes I think we are not. In either case the idea is quite staggering.

This is a quote for Arthur C. Clarke that I think is what it's all about;

Perhaps our role on this planet is not to worship God — but to create Him

and I would add;

But not in our image

Happy Birthday Sir Arthur C. Clarke. Thanks for all the sci-fi books. They made bed time reading so much more enjoyable for me.

This short story of yours always stuck in my mind, with a feeling that if the chips were down humans could indeed do something fantastic about a precarious situation.

"The memorable final lines of the story have the aliens musing as how the humans will respond when the existence of other itelligentces becomes known to them"
