Carl Sagan walks into a bar. The bartender serves him a glass of milk and he drinks it. He then says "That wasn't what I wanted...at all? Why not?" "Across the centuries...there were people who believed...if the gods were happy...there was plenty of food...and humans were happy. But if something displeased the gods, and it didn't take much, the Consequences were AWESOME. Droughts, floods, storms, wars, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, E P I D E M I C S. . . You couldn't be sure what they would do."
