> I wonder what book might be held responsible for the most human misery.

It seems that a certain book on finding homestead property fell by chance
through a wormhole in time and ended up on a distant planet in a distant
galaxy a
billion years ago. By chance in the local language the writing could be
construed to be a pronouncement of heresy against the established religion
and it
set of a holy war that raged for millions of years costing billions of lives.

When the error was discovered, the war criminals were put in a spaceship and
marooned on a planet so far out of the way, they could do no harm to anyone
but themsleves where their descendents live to this very day in a perpetual
state of mucking things up.

My apologies, Douglas.
