15 Amusing Facts About Aquatic Animals, Robots, And Orgasmic Music
"The gods do not live forever," a wise and powerful sage once proclaimed, "and they have not lived forever." He went on to say that the gods' lives began when they were born in their parents' arms. Their first breath of life came from an ancestor's mouth; it was a blessing passed down through their mother's side only. The gods did not know this then. They thought that they had always been alive, that they would die when their fathers died—which was why they could not be killed. They believed the world to be made of fire, water and earth, but they were wrong about that as well.
They learned all these things over the course of thousands of years, though some gods did learn it much faster than others. Although much of their knowledge has been lost and has never been passed down, some of it survives, such as this list of fifteen facts:
