Handy Curses for Those Who Borrow Books and Do Not Return Them

Wandering around the webosphere can be worth the trouble. You just never know what you’re going to learn.

This time I’ve learned some nifty curses for people who borrow your books and don’t return them.

For instance.

“For him that stealeth, or borroweth and returneth not, this book from its owner, let it change into a serpent in his hand & rend him. Let him be struck with palsy & all his members blasted. Let him languish in pain crying aloud for mercy, & let there be no surcease to his agony till he sing in dissolution. Let bookworms gnaw his entrails in token of the Worm that dieth not, & when at last he goeth to his final punishment, let the flames of Hell consume him for ever.”

Okay, strong stuff. But, sometimes you just have to draw the line, and when people don’t return your books, well…

That said for more handy curses to put on those who have not returned a book, here you go.

You’re welcome.
