And we thought we had trouble bringing up our kids. In this show at Caesar's Palace - called the "Fall of Atlantis" - King Atlas (this guy) tries to determine which of his two offspring will next rule Atlantis. Neither of them is in much of a mood for compromise, however. In their quest to destroy one another, the two brats bring the kingdom to near ruin. In frustration, the gods decide to destoy Atlantis - first with fire and then with water. It's quite a show.

I'm sure there's a lesson in there someplace for all of us - as in, if you happen to be a king, restrict yourself to one child! Things will go a lot smoother.
