McMacMulligan, who had vowed to spend his last thousand dollars trying to solve a paradox that had come to him, he believed, in a dream: Can God bake a cake so big that he cannot eat it? Unbeknownst to McMacMulligan, this was not a novel paradox. It was essentially a reformulation of a classic paradox of omnipotence known as the paradox of the stone: Can an omnipotent being create a stone so heavy that that omnipotent being cannot lift it?
