Thank you, NOVA.

Lightening may be the result of particles from dying stars millions of light years away drifting down into the Earth's atmosphere. That is so unbelievably cool.

Don't cry emo Greeks, it's the Odyssey according to Katie.

Posiedon sidled up to Zeus.

"Hey, uh, would you be mad at me,
if I punished the Phaiakians?
Cuz, seriously, man,
Odysseus was supposed to go home
I get that really, but, uh,
You said he'd totally suffer the whole time.
And, well, they helped him.
And he might have even cracked a smile.
Listen, my reputation is so on the line.
What sort of badass god would I be,
If my threats weren't kept?"

To this, Zeus, son of K-dog, replied:
"I guess you wouldn't be that badass,
especially if ya had to ask my permission
to punish your own damn people, but whatev, bro."

Poseidon popped open an Amp energy drink,
the blue kind, the kind that's better than red.
"So, I'm pumped, let's do this thing.
How does surrounding their city
With impenetrable mountains and
Making sure that they can't trade
And whatnot anymore?
That's tremble-worthy, right?
I mean, rocks and earthquakes?
That's righteously wicked, right."

Zeus coughed.
"Well, that could be, considered,
A bit melodramatic.
It could even, bra, be considered
Kinda like a temper tantrum.
If, uh, I had to do this thing,
I'd just turn the boat that
Smartie Pants Odysseus sailed on,
Well, I'd turn that bitch to stone.
Right in their own fucking harbor.
That'd show 'em."

Poseidon looked a little disappointed.
"Uh, that sounds cool.
I'm gonna do that, yeah.
But I'm still not gonna rule out
Mountains and rocks.
Not yet anyways."

Zeus, the thrower of lightening, shook his head.
"Whatever, Earthshaker, whatever.
Do what you gotta do.
Oh, and bring me back a macchiato latte,
while you're at it. Hearing these emo Greeks
cry to me and accepting their burnt offerings
and fat, it's tiring, I needs some caffeine."
