Brahmin

Brahman is the "main", most/all-powerful, hindu god.
Brahmin is the name for a hindu holy man..

I just thought about that. koo, eh? :)

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. Then they'll be a mile away--and barefoot.

Oops, I thought most people on the board knew that, since there is a large following of this game in the Asian market.

What, about the domestic breed of southern US cattle? :)

I did know about the holy man and deity thing, and of course cows are sacred in modern hindu tradition, so I thought that connection was pretty solid. You learn something new every day. Perhaps not every day. For instance, in Fallout you can spend several days just healing, so you'd have to pump your NPC:s for background information around the campfire if you wished to learn anything, but the player never gets to see that. Cassidy just keeps going on about dustbowls and twisters like he thinks no one heard those lines before. Some people.
