Broersma Modified wine press stamps words onto paper, threatening employment of monks and scribes in document production. But may be work of Devil, experts warn Another possible sign that the end of the world is at hand appeared Tuesday with the unveiling of a Bible manufactured by a machine rather than a human being. Experts said the new book, produced by a wine press modified with all manner of strange gadgetry, could herald the replacement of humans by mechanical devices, thus signalling the Apocalypse. It is generally accepted that the end of all things and Christ's return will arrive in less than 50 years' time, in 1500. Gutenberg predicted that less expensive books could vastly increase the availability of Bibles and even popular hits such as the Lives of the Saints.
Bibles are just the beginning for the printing press.
Its flexibility is unlimited. This will lead to an era of spiritual enlightenment the like of which history has never seen, paving the way for the final destruction of the mortal world, which, as we all know, is imminent. But pundits were sceptical, noting that the machine, having no soul, could bring an amoral influence to bear on the sacred document-production process. This thing threatens the authority of the Church and, as such, is an instrument of the Devil. The new Bible is already a hit, however, with Germany's brightest lights reportedly lining up for their copy.
