Update on the weirdest book in the world

Maybe code breakers can't break it because its pointless symbol gibberish?

It's a cookbook! A COOKBOOK!

God, I love that book.

What, the rest of you can't read it?

It's just a step by step instruction on how to activate the M/R node, allowing a normal human to control the four fundamental forces of the universe.

What's it about?

Love stuff like this! Why bother with nonsense like 9/11 Conspiracy Theories, Atlantis, the Bermuda Triangle, Black Helicopters or Jackalopes when there are genuinely weird things in the world?

Okay, Jackalopes would be cool.

Black helicopters aren't weird. Seen lots. Even rode in a few myself

Wow. And here I thought that manuscript I transcribed for a friend (involving escaping mental institutions, Jesus in a UFO, and knife fights, amongst other things) was the weirdest in the world.

Just got PWND.

Zoom, you've been warned about this before. Stop sharing secrets with people who don't have their own decoder rings, or I'm going to have to report you to Central Processing again. Seriously, man, they're talking about monogramming your sheets you've been in there so often.

It's a picture book!

Where's Medi?

I'm really hoping it explains how electronic remote controls actually work.

That, or how to get rid of that blinking 12:00 on my VCR.

I was gonna say that maybe some person made it just to frustrate other people...

Vascular Contraband Regulator.

Apparently it was not forged by the infamous Dr. John Dee.

I thought this was to be about my WIP. I've blown up England!

I've met lots of blacks and none of them were helicopters. They remain an urban legend to me.

We should totally make our own Voynich Manuscript-style book with each page made by a different person, carefully antiqued and set loose in the world.

Sharla Tann already did that.

Maybe some Medieval monk went a little nutso, and instead of copying the Bible like he was supposed to, he instead started making up all kinds of stupid nonsense. And it then maybe it wasn't until weeks went by ("All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.") that his superiors finally noticed his mad scribbling, and took his writing quill way from him. And then maybe they locked him up in some dungeon meant for the demonically posessed (he was "writing" in tongues, afterall).



And .... maybe the Hutaree folks took some clues from this manuscript when they decided to make up their own language.
