The arc de triomphe, one of the more famous Parisian landmarks, was almost destroyed and toppled today after an unfortunate God-related "cropping incident". God, who is infinite years old, was reportedly sorting out his digital photograph collection when the incident occured. Bob Godfrey, on the scene, recorded God's explanation:

"Ah, yes, sorry about that French people," he uttered in perfect and rather avuncular English; a bit like Dumbledore (the first one). "You see, I was just cutting out a picture of my friend Errol from a great piccy I got when visiting the arc... and I forgot I hadn't put on safety mode, and actually cropped out the west wall of the structure. Silly me! Still, I put it back so all's forgiven, huh?"

God, whose voice emanated from the nearest cloud, was said to have been "bearded".

The French, while initially cowering beneath the awesome sight of an infinite being, were said to later be outraged and demanding satisfaction. Some Parisians even went so far as to shrug their shoulders aggressively at the deity.

"It's a bit of an outrage," said one Frenchman, who refused to speak English even though he lectured the language at University. "Here is this... God creature... and he wipes out a piece of French culture. Never before has any non-French person ever come close to taking away a French monument from us. It is outraaaaageous."

We contacted God for a further update and interview, but so far Heaven has declined.
