Grand Targhee
The gods gathered on Mt. Olympus for an important meeting. Grand Targhee, the Titan responsible for holding up the Earth, was threatening to go on strike. Some of the more warlike gods favored a quick and violent response, but the others wanted to consider his reasons.
"You all can fly around the universe, have affairs, and fight in wars. Meanwhile, I'm stuck standing like a statue in perpetuity. I don't even have WiFi.
After hearing his complaints, the gods agreed to annihilate Grand Targhee. The task of holding up the earth passed on to Arthur Leibowitz of Albany, New York.
