Uranus. Hahaha.

Oh, up on your mythology? Yes, Uranus was Venus' father. Sort of.

Venus was the daughter of the Sea and Heaven, a child born of Uranus and Gaia. Sadly, Venus was not born through love, but as a result of Gaia becoming so angered with Uranus that she cut off his genitals and tossed them into the ocean. Mixing with the foam from the sea, Venus was formed.

A nice one through the clouds:

The process is the goal.

Men heap together the mistakes of their lives, and create a monster they call Destiny.

She came out pretty nicely, considering.
