Dumb Plays in the Face of Fate

A Bible printed in London in 1631 included an embarrassing typo. Instead of "Thou shalt not. . ." it read, "Thou shalt commit adultery." There's one commandment that could be followed by people who couldn't follow the other nine.

Well, that's still a little better than the Bugger All This For a Lark Bible. (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0441003257/qid=1121432134/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-4025310-7134223?v=glance&s=books&n=507846)

I want it to be made into a movie but with what Hollywood's been doing to books lately I'd probably end up shooting myself in the face six or seven times.

OTOH HHGTG was okayish, but then again they may have made that the way they did for fear the ghost of Douglas Adams would rise up and smite them in the face with a sturgeon.

Hollywood, in general, pretty much destroys everything, you know? Pretty much.
