Do The Honorable Thing
Keep negtive thoughts out of your mind.
Don't let Satan lead you astray.
Ignore him. Take time to pray.
Sensitivity to what you hear
Terror causes anxiety and fear.
Resist temptation from a peer.
Abstain from cigarettes and beer.
Cheating on a test won't help you at all.
Tell yourself I'm strong. I will not fall.
Important to be one of a kind
Often keep negative thoughts out of your mind.
Nagging at someone is surely unkind.

What are some horrifying discoveries found inside the Devil’s Bible?
The Codex Gigas, or Devil's Bible, is the largest surviving medieval manuscript. It measures 92 cm tall, 22 cm thick, and weighs 72 kg. Created in 13th century Bohemia, the Codex Gigas contains a Vulgate Bible and a compendium of Bohemian knowledge. Remarkably, handwriting analysis suggests the entire book was written by a single scribe, a task that would have taken an estimated 20 years. The calligraphy throughout the Codex Gigas is astoundingly consistent, showcasing the scribe's unwavering precision and skill. The most striking illustration in the book is a full-page depiction of the Devil, shown crouching with raised clawed hands and a snarling expression. Legend claims that a monk named Herman the Recluse, facing punishment, promised to create the book in one night to earn redemption. The story suggests that Herman sought the Devil's help, who agreed in exchange for Herman's soul and the inclusion of the Devil's portrait. While the tale of Herman the Recluse and the Devil's involvement is merely a legend, it adds to the intrigue surrounding the Codex Gigas. The Codex Gigas remains a testament to the knowledge, artistry, and dedication of its mysterious creator. So, if you ever get a chance to see the Devil's Bible in person, do it. Just don't blame me if you have nightmares about that creepy Devil picture later.
