Thou Shalt Commit Adultery - a podcast by ApocD

I'm reading a book calledHow Computers Work. The part I'm reading now briefly covers the history of printing and mentionsThe Wicked Bible. It's a 1631 reprint of the King James Bible in which thenotinThou shalt not commit adulterywas omitted. I'm thinking the Ten Commandments are the one part of the bible you want to double check when you're printing it, especially if you're printing it in 17th century England. Some people think the devil printed the Wicked Bible; if so, it makes me wonder why adultery was the focus and not something bigger, like, hmm, I don't know...worshiping the devil. Seems like Ol' Scratch would have made some changes to make himself look better, not to encourage fornication. Instead, he should have slipped in Beavis and Butthead'sThou that smelt it thine own self dealt it.
