      This might beat the scene in The Passion of the Christ where Jesus invents the dining table with chairs.

          I've heard that it's really not worth that much unless Homer signed his last name too which apparently was pretty rare.

              Flinging stones on a beach and I did come across some old pots with a 300th anniversary signed copy of The Torah.

                Technically, he doesn't invent them. He's just riding the trend.

                Also, probably the best scene in that movie.

                  You have to be careful with those. I heard that YHWH has whole sweatshops full of elves copying his signature, and they sell these Bibles to tourists to raise money for yacht parties ("YHWH YCHT PRTY YOLO NSFW IRL!!!").

                    Reminds me of that great classic:

                    • Table for 26?

                    • But... You're with 13 people.

                    • Yes, but we like to sit on the same side of the table.

                      She meant "the IIL AD", but the Is and Ls were hard to read. It was a book about the year 48 AD, in Rome. It was written by her cousin Ilias, from Illinois.

                        I didn't know such a stupid line existed because I didn't watch such a stupid movie.

                            Rare texts are kinda my jam, a few highlights in my collection:

                            • A signed first edition of the Necronomicon (it still screams and bleeds)

                            • An early draft of the 10 commandments (before it got narrowed down to just 10)

                            • The treatise between cats and dogs that lead to cats getting litter boxes and dogs getting walks

                                If anybody's wondering... (Youtube link)

                                Also, ooof. Not that this looks to be a fine piece of cinema, but the writer didn't put this into the script, the director did. Apparently it's an 1884 printing of an 1853 edition of a 1720 translation (Pope's), so in no way whatsoever is it first edition of, well, anything. Maybe the worst part of it is that there was absolutely no reason to linger over the title. They never even say the name of the book.
