Final class with class and static funcs

I have two question regarding code below:

final class God {

    class func eat() {
         print("Om nom nom")
    }

    static func throwLightning() {
         print("Zzap")
    }
}
  1. Is it possible to override eat() method without removing final keyword from God class?
  2. Is there any difference between class and static funcs in classes marked as final ?

UPDATE:

Is there any difference from method dispatch point of view?

No. "override" is something you do in a subclass. But final means there can be no subclasses, so where would this "override" even occur?

No, not from a Swift programmer's point of view. static means class final. But this class is already final, so saying static adds nothing.
