Not so very long ago, lightning was considered a sign of God's wrath. If you were hit, you were a sinner. Lightning and thunder were the most palpable manifestations of the angry God of the Old Testament, violent and vengeful. The "God-fearing" community thought there was intent behind lightning, they ascribed a conscious purpose to a random process. And lightning is scary as hell, so that was constant reinforcement.

So, when Franklin invented the lightning rod, he immediately came up hard against the religious community. They hated this idea, and they said it was bullshit, that if you were a sinner, God was going to strike you whether you put a metal stick on your house or not. This was a huge controversy, with tremendous argumentation back and forth.

But, well, lightning rods work. Buildings with rods didn't get struck; buildings without, did. And the conflict was finally settled, once and for all, when a church somewhere in Spain was struck by lightning, setting off explosives that were stored underneath, leveling the town and killing most of the people in it. Churches had been thought to be the safest place to store dangerous things, because God would protect them there, and well, a lot of people paid with their lives for that decision -- while whorehouses, sporting the fashionable new lightning rods, never got hit.

It was the first really large conflict between science and religion, where religion made one prediction, and science made a different one.

Science -- and the prostitutes who believed in it -- won.

cometozizo: Access Bank pays d highest about 14% ,you can visit any of their nearest branch to enquire .

pappilo: I was furious First Bank only offered 91 day bills and when I complained that their COT charges will be prohibitive if I kept rolling over 91 day bills, my friend who works there explained that COT wasnt charged on money leaving your account to buy securities, fixed deposit e.t.c.

straneur: God bless you, you are a smart person. I don't know why people think organization like yahoo would just buy a company without critical analysis. It is a calculated risk, people said the same thing when google bought youtube where Mayer was working before but who is talking now.

straneur: 100 million users and 90 million post per day and yet you think Marrisa Mayer doesn't know what she is doing? She explained that the idea is to strengthen their ad tech. I agree its over price but the possibility is endless.
