winsor68 Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 A new monk arrives at the monastery and is assigned to help the other monks in copying the old texts by hand. He notices that they are copying copies, not the original books. He mentions to the head monk that, if there's an error in the first copy, then that error will be continued to all other copies. The head monk thinks this is a valid observation, so he goes down into the cellar with one of the copies to check it against the original. Hours later, the monks hear sobbing coming from the cellar. They find the old monk leaning over one of the original books crying. "What's wrong?" one asks. The old monk sobs, "The word is 'celebrate' ." 2
