Forget warnings. People love to disregard warnings. I'd just put it on my bookshelf amongst all my other books, in a bookjacket entitled "Organic Chemistry". It would never be opened.

Lol, very true. That's the problem with my group of friends though, I was having a very difficult time thinking of subjects that no one would be interested in.

So - to which movie are you referring? The Mummy or the Spiderwick Chronicles? Honestly though, these things need to happen. What is the point of putting a curse on a book if no one will ever engage the curse? Besides, if the book is made of obsidian/gold or the warning is written in the form of a rhyme who could resist opening it?

Me thinks had I left such a book (and I do have them - we Papists have a market on these things) at the touch table in lieu of the log book, I bet you would have opened it and then we would have spent the rest of the day chasing down reanimated bodies.

Both, though it was Spiderwick that set me off. Yes, I know. Without the curse being activated, there'd be no plot, but I just want to see someone try. They never even pause.
