The Book of Cheng
The Book of Cheng is no ordinary book. Within its pages of supposed nonsense, there are a few virtues that hold true to this day. For instance, the Book of Cheng predicted the election of Bush. In Prophecies 14.2.6.4, it quotes, "Sometime in the future, maybe soon or maybe much later, a man whose name resembles a plant shall gain some sort of high position in which he shall rule." Even Nostradamus couldn't come close to such accurate foresight. The Book of Cheng also correctly described World War II many many days after it took place. In Hindsight 248.641.1834, it describes, "A man whose name starts with a letter of the alphabet and has a whole number of letters shall rise to power and cause havoc among many people whose names have been forgotten." Such valuable hindsight has not been matched in quality even today. The greatest mystery surrounding the Book of Cheng is not its contents, but it very existence. The original Book of Cheng was found in Russia, in the first Russian hotel on a bathroom sink next to many stolen bars of soap. The book was given to a German museum, where it set out to translate the 'holy' book. The problem with translating the Book of Cheng is that it is written completely in musical notes. It took years for the scientists to realize that the book was more than just another opera of sorts. After a series of computer generated algorithms and what-not, the first translated Book of Cheng was complete. It was never given much thought after that due to its three-hundred page description of soap, and its one-hundred page story of the eve of the fifth of April, which included seagulls and muffins. However, this Book holds within it dark, secret powers that have been carefully hidden from the world. Until today, that is...
