BTW for the interested, the National Geographic channel had a pretty nice program about the Codex Gigas some years ago, and cause National Geographic is run by people who aren't idiots, you can watch the full thing on
YouTube
(new window) Bonus, you can watch it in HD.

Whoa, so there is an update for the Daemons Codex? I thought it would wait for 6th edition.

The problem with the Codex is that things get added to it all the time without you even noticing so when you go check it suddenly there are all these new entries to read that you've already read when they happened and the scroll feature is farking terrible

"Engage!" Clemint shouted in his surpriseing Brittsh accent,
making Calixtis take the ship to Warp 12. Jeezis appeared in a
puff of smoke and flashed his cock at Clemint. Instantly,
the uptite captain got hard and tried to denie it but Jeezis put
a dog collar on him and then it was okay. Urben took the
helm and Jeezis waved his wand and then they were in Hawaai
and Clemint was dressed in a grass skurt with cocoanutte
haves over his breasts. ***//***fark me, Jeezis!***//** he tought,
and Jeezis set fire to the skurt to get rid of it, and then bent
Clemint over and farked him really hard wit his universe-sized
dick and Clemint came so hard his body exploded into a
million peaces right their on the beach and Jeezis cried.

At face value, the story of the Codex Gigas sounds like the script for Indiana Jones 5...

Oh great, now some fundies are going to claim that this is somehow proof that satan is real. As if they do not have enough fuel for their burning stupidity.
Indubitably
2012-01-06 07:11:49 PM
Satan is real.
And so is God.
Look in the mirror.
What do you see?
Sentience.
P.S. Welcome to both.
