THROBERT'S THEATRE of THINKOLOGIZING!

17 September 2002
 

Leonard Nimoy to the white courtesy phone! A friend on another forum sent me a link to a NASA page describing a mysterious book known as the Voynich Manuscript. The book is written in an alphabet no one has ever seen before -- possibly it's just a cyphertext form of a known language like Latin, but cryptographers have so far had no luck in their attempts to crack the code. The manuscript is also filled with illustrations, some of them oddly suggestive of the stuff that a pre-teen Theodore Geisel might've drawn for the school newspaper.

Who did write the Voynich Manuscript, then? My credo is: when in doubt, go with ancient astronauts. It's the only rational conclusion...
