A time traveler meets with an ancient Jewish Bibical author.

After a brief introduction, having convinced the scribe of his identity, the time-traveler launches into an excited speech:

"Rabbi, do you know that in the future, your writings will spawn off other religions that in turn would make most of the world's population adherents of the Abrahamic faith?"

The wizened sage shakes his head with disbelief.

"Trust me, I'm telling you the truth!" pleads the time-traveler, "One day, your writings will constitute the foundation for the most popular book in the world."

Distraught, the author sighs heavily and shakes his head once again.

"I know, it sounds crazy. Could you imagine that there are even those who will persecute your people in the name of your own God, with their own version of the story as pretext?"

At this, the perplexed Rabbi shakes his head vigorously for the final time, but before the time-traveler can react, he reaches for the manuscript, palm on his forehead and with furrowed brow, muttering under his breath "I can't *believe* that we forgot to copyright the damn thing"
