... The beams were perfectly aligned, the large collider finally ready for the final test.
One of the scientists was staring at the clock, while thinking about all those years passed in that lab, working so hard for such a long time, all for that moment.
The chief engineer was adjusting the last parameters while all the others were sitting in front of the monitors, waiting in trepidation.
Then the scientist said: << It's time! >>
The counter started at ten. As it went down to zero... the unexpected happened.
God came down to Earth.
As soon as he touched ground he gave a brief look around.
Some of the scientists were stuck. Some were kneeling, praying in tears. Many of them feeling guilty.
Then God said:
<< Holy shit! I was giving my usual look at the logs, and then I saw that horrible, HORRIBLE exception! >>
A couple of nerds looked at each other for a second, just a little less puzzled than the others.
He went on:
<< Thanks to the stack trace I could find this place, that I had mostly forgotten. You managed to make a big mess here guys. >>
Then one of the nerds took all of his courage and whispered:
<< ...we are so sorry God, please forgive us... >>
God gave a look at the monitors, the particles still perfectly blocked in the instant of the collision, as someone had paused a VCR, then he said:
<< No problem guys, it's ok to play around. It's the only way to learn something usefull, and I know, it's so fun! >>
<< I've already put a try/catch around the code, so that next time everything should be ok. >>
At these words the two nerds felt a little better.
He was already floating towards the sky when he added:
<< I had almost forgotten to tell you that I'll have to halt that cloud-computing thing and reboot your Universe. You know guys, hot code replacement never really works when you need it. >>
A moment later there was nothing, then God said: "Let there be light", and there was light.
The rest of this story has already been written a long time ago.
