'''Song of Solomon''' also known as '''Song of Songs''' is supposed to be the sexiest book of [[Bible]], despite the notion that [[User:EvilFlyingMonkey|some people]] have misspell the word to "Solomen"<ref>There are probably limitations on how sexy a man can be when he's solo.

Also known by its alternative title, "Scriptural Sexytime Hawtness," the '''Song of Solomon''' follows the relationship of a man and a woman from courtship to (ahem) [[sex|knowledge in the Biblical sense]]. The book is often interpreted as allegorical, representing the relationship between [[God]] and the Israelites and/or [[Jesus Christ|Christ]] and the church. However, a more literal reading of the text leaves little doubt as to what's gettin' on.
Although the more boorish voyeurs will be disappointed in the book, it contains several beautifully poetic pick-up lines. Be warned, rational ladies!
During the Middle Ages, before the invention of the printing press, monks used to fight to be the one to copy this book.
