I guess the praying worked?

Succeeding you mean

The walking on water part, yeah. But then I asked the praying mantis what the greatest commandment was, and I just got a funny look.

Did you hand it over two stone tablets?

Next time you will be better prepared. This opportunity seems to happen every 2,000 years or so, don't worry, just a bit of patience and keep stone tablets on hand.
