Jon and Phillip tricked God into turning himself into a pork chop, and ate him. Normally, this would have spelled doom for [[The Multiverse]]. Fortunately, Woody Allen hired a Mayan programming firm, headed by One Death, to write a program on his laptop to keep the Multiverse going. Unfortunately, the program has a bug that will cause it to crash when the Mayan Calendar rolls over on December 21, 2012, leading to [[The End of the World As We Know It|the end of the multiverse as we know it.]] The race is on to locate [[The Chosen One|The Programmer]] (who might be Phillip) prophesied to repair the program. Of course, the ones who control The Programmer will control the multiverse, so wacky interdimensional hijinks are ensuing.
