Never Steal a Book

A bit of wisdom, courtesy a professor, courtesy some dead medieval guy with a bit of a personal vendetta.

He who steals thys boke,
May he dye the deth,
May he be frizzled in a pan...


Not sure the significance of frizzling, or even if there were any pans large enough to hold an individual during the Middle Ages, but I'm pretty sure the message is clear. Crystal.

No touchee. MY BOOK!

  1. Wow. that's intense... They were really strict about plagiarism back then, huh?
    I feel the same way about my books, though.
    Let the Frizzling begin! (How very Monty Python...)
