Its just a figure of speech. You could say, "Angry Titan" or  
whatever. Its just an idiomatic expression.

On a sidenote, I dont see the big deal with lightning bolts. People  
are still going to push the limits, and take advantage, seeing as a  
lightning bolt is a very poor punishment, and its hugely overreactign  
to delete someone's character because they, for example, move the  
capitol for strategic advantage, or RP a rape or something. I mean,  
honestly. An LB does what? A serious wound? Oh no! Cant you see I'm  
trembling?

We need a better punishment if the angry god thing, or even the  
titans, is going to work. Maybe a lightning bolt option for pausing  
characters? i.e.:

"Hey, you cant do that! WARNING!"

"Hey, you cant do that, and I already told you once! PAUSED FOR TWO  
WEEKS!"

Its not perfect, but its better than sissy bolts.
