An interesting story that reminds me of the movie "Bruce Almighty" (even if Bruce took things in a different direction due to where it came from). At least he realizes his mistakes early on and decides to do something about them.

Alec, this story reminded me of the 1936 movie, appropriately called "The Man Who Could Work Miracles" staring Sir Ralph Richardson and Roland Young. It was based on the same plot as the H G Wells classic because Wells himself worked on the screenplay, changing it a bit to include the communist Russian revolution. An interesting old black and white film that had some terrific special effects, cutting edge in its time, and still awe making to watch today.
