Kyoto
(in 1945 the home of Emperor Hirohito and one of the four proposed atomic bomb targets (which included Hiroshima but not Nagasaki); vetoed as a target by Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson because he'd spent his honeymoon there and felt it was a shame to atomise it. Nagasaki, incidentally, was never even considered and was bombed purely as a Target Of Opportunity after bad weather obscured the true second target, the arsenal at Kokura. Sad but true.)

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
