• Voynich manuscript

Posted: **Wed May 02, 2007 2:29 pm**

I have been working with it for a while, anyone familiar?

Posted: **Wed May 02, 2007 2:30 pm**

Not personally, what is it?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voynich_manuscript this has the basics. If this is not enough then I assume you are familar enough to know of the dificulties I am encountering, and my excitement at the fact I am showing progress in my work. The Phenomena in Dover may have the key that I am looking for, it was the only other hit on several of the symbols in the seal.

I'm not sure wheter this is bad news or worse news f it's related to what's happening in Dover.

Every time I heard about it, the word English equivalent of "bullshit" usually follows.

But I do not hang out with supergeeks. They make me feel strange.

You hang out with Natasha :lol:

Posted: **Wed May 02, 2007 7:45 pm**

Alright, 1 supergeek at a time. I can't cope otherwise..

Posted: **Wed May 02, 2007 7:52 pm**

So now I am a "mostly scarey" "supergeek"??

So much of what we deal with could be real, could be fake, could be somehtign totlly different - is' impossible to know before the last of the riddle is unravled.

Natasha, yes. But you're not listing all of your good qualities, only those two.

Posted: **Thu May 03, 2007 2:21 am**

Down Bert.

What?! Can't I pay a lady a compliment?

Posted: **Thu May 03, 2007 2:48 am**

As long as that's all you pay them, you have many a man's adoration.

Posted: **Thu May 03, 2007 10:00 am**

Geeze Ron, you must think I'm a real dog.

Posted: **Thu May 03, 2007 10:04 am**

Scarey is a compliment?

Posted: **Thu May 03, 2007 10:06 am**

It can be! :wink:

Posted: **Thu May 03, 2007 10:15 am**

In what context?

"Oh my god..."

"What? What!"

"You're scarey."

"Do me, stud!"

Posted: **Thu May 03, 2007 10:29 am**

Some people like to be considered scarey!

Okay, this is about as far off topic as we can drift. . .

WHat's going on with the manuscript?

Posted: **Fri Jul 13, 2007 12:49 pm**

Well the manuscript had a lot of the same symbols as the seal in dove, that was confirmed. I was only able to break one of the cyphers encrypting the text, and it was mostley banal stuff, detailed explanations of the inner workings of various plants. Remarkably accurate when you consider the science and technology of the era in which the manuscript was written. Although teh names are different, the functions are about as accurate as what you would find in a textbook on botany at a university that offers anything over a 4 year degree in botany.

Interesting . . . but not much worth.

It depends on what they catalogued.

There might be entries in there like "X, also cures Lycanthropy in sufficient dosages."

Posted: **Sun Jul 15, 2007 10:27 am**

She didn't say they were catalogued as such and I suspect that she woul have if they were.

Posted: **Sun Jul 15, 2007 2:12 pm**

Silver cures lycanthropy as far I know.

Posted: **Sun Jul 15, 2007 5:54 pm**

I don't see silver so much as a cure as a solution.

Posted: **Sun Jul 15, 2007 6:45 pm**

I don't see the difference.

Posted: **Sun Jul 15, 2007 7:48 pm**

I suppose you wouldn't.

Posted: **Sun Jul 15, 2007 7:58 pm**

You know me pretty good shellback.

Posted: **Sun Jul 15, 2007 8:46 pm**

I agree Kolya on this.

Posted: **Sun Jul 15, 2007 11:24 pm**

That's like saying a cure for cancer is the same as killing the person who gets it.
