I've always thought this phrase was rather odd... who would want to steal thunder when you can steal the lightning? or better yet steal both?

Thunder's louder I guess. Idunno. Lots of expressions are weird.

"Hey, you're stealing my lightning!" Nope, doesn't sound right.

Why steal the lightning when you can ride the lightning?

Someone else that uses that phrase!

And stealing thunder makes sense, to me, because it's a lot easier to hear thunder than it is to see lightning. On the subject, has there ever been a god of thunder? Or is it always some god of lighting?

In Japanese mythology there are, in fact, gods for both thunder and lighting.

Not always. Usually he's in people's houses, setting up lamps so they can shut the hell up and leave him alone.

He's also been known to dabble in candles, but he switched to electric lamps because his candles set things on fire. :wacko:
