How did Zeus get to be in charge of lightning? "Lightning is very godlike." "What? Everybody knows lightning is just electricity." "They didn't know then." "So Zeus owes his job to people's ignorance?" "That's one approach." "I bet he hated Benjamin Franklin." "I think Zeus was semi-retired by 1752."
