Hello again, contestants! We made it through Week 4 thanks to the help of a trusty voting slider, and now I'm back for another exciting round of Cryptos Against Humanity.

Rules
TLDR; answer the prompt as a comment on this post using words from a random Wikipedia article
- No resteem or upvote is necessary, although it is greatly appreciated. If I get paid out more than more than 4 liquid STEEM from these posts, I will increase the number of winners.
- Use the Random Article feature on Wikipedia to get your valid list of words (your "White Cards", for those of you familiar with the actual party game). This link will take you to a random article. You can use any word(s) on the screen - intro, nav bar, anything!
- Answer in the form of a comment on this post. The format of your comment should be three lines: your first word(s), your second word(s), and the link to the article you used (see sample answer to this week's prompt below)
- If you want to keep rolling for new random articles, that's your decision, although it's not in the spirit of the game. If you get a very short "stub" article or something written in another language, feel free to roll again though!
- If you intentionally use a specific Wikipedia article, I can't stop you, but again, it's not in the spirit of the game.
This Week's Prompt
This week's prompt comes courtesy of @fromage, who wants to hear your revision of the famous quote from Oppenheimer.
My Sample Answer
This is the qualifying format I'm looking for in your comment down below:

Prizes
There will be three shares of SBI awarded as prizes.
- One share to my own personal favorite
- One share to the crowd favorite (as measured by the number of upvotes, not the dollar amount)
- One share to a random qualifying entry
I've also set a small Steem Bounty on this post. All valid entries will qualify. I'd also recommend subscribing to @dustsweeper for maximum benefit.
This contest will run for a week, at which time I'll close it out, announce the winners, and kick off the next round.
Anyway, thanks for playing, and have fun! Here's the random Wikipedia article link again. See you in the comments below!
I am become _______, destroyer of _______.
