[ WP ] You are Microsoft 's lead physicist and the company has just turned on its $ 40 billion wormhole machine for the first time . As soon as it powers on , it spits out a message from the future . `` STOP . ''

`` Stop'' the message said. It was even signed by a guy called Rick. Now there are two ricks who could be this Rick. One is me and the other one is the engineer who also worked on this project. 
 
 If it was me, we should probably take this message seriously and shut down the machine, if it was the other Rick, we probably should bitch slap that stupid engineer. 
 
 Now do n't get me wrong, he is known for making stupid jokes and pulling ridiculous pranks, like the one time at CERN where we had to confirm that strings actually do exist by creating enough spin in a proton to make it split into quarks, and then collide the quarks with other quarks. Rick was pretty bored since he is a hands on guy and does n't go well with theoretical stuff. So he decided to rig the computers used for the evaluation of the collision and replace the mass of the string by the mass of the proton involved in the experiment. It took three years to figure out why the experiment always showed the same result, no matter how fast the quarks were accelerated. Fuckin Rick the prick. 
 
 And now, after powering down the engine, Rick stood up and shouted `` lol just playing with you guys, I planned on throwing that message into the time machine just to fuck with you guys, and apparently I did.'' 
 
 He was fired, finally. The strange thing was that those messages did not stop appearing every time we turned on the machine.
