Paranormal Article of the Week: Download the Voynich Manuscript


Much of the early history of the Voynich Manuscript is unknown. The first confirmed owner is Georg Baresch, an obscure alchemist from Prague. Baresch was apparently just as puzzled as modern scientists about this "Sphynx" that had been "taking up space uselessly in his library" for many years. A letter he wrote in 1639 is the earliest known mention of the manuscript. After his death, the book traded hands until being given to Athanasius Kircher, a Jesuit scholar from the Collegio Romano; it remained in their library for almost 300 years.

Around 1912, the Collegio Romano was short of money and decided to sell some of its holdings discreetly. Wilfrid Voynich, a Polish book dealer, acquired 30 manuscripts from the sale, among them the manuscript that now bears his name. He spent the next seven years attempting to interest scholars in deciphering the script while he worked to determine its origins.

The Voynich manuscript has been studied by many professional and amateur cryptographers, including American and British codebreakers from both World War I and World War II. No one has yet succeeded in deciphering the text, and it has become a famous case in the history of cryptography. The mystery of the meaning and origin of the manuscript has excited the popular imagination, making the manuscript the subject of novels and speculation. None of the many hypotheses proposed over the last hundred years has yet been independently verified.

And now, in the interests of illumination, I bring you a website where you can download The Voynich Manuscript in PDF form, for your own curiosity and attempted deciphering. It's a really fascinating perusal, and the mysterious images and text within, though unreadable, are beautiful to view.

Expanded Perspectives: The Disappearance of Michael Rockefeller

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives the guys start the show by talking about two people in Oregon County, Mississippi say they came across an unknown animal that looked like a mix between a dog and a kangaroo. Then, an unusual story about a headless railway conductor. Then, a bio-engineer at Harvard a recently created a small robot stingray that contains real living cells. Then, numerous governments around the world are slowly coping with the idea that we have a right to know whether or not we are alone in the universe. After the break Cam brings up one of the strangest missing person stories of the 20th century.

Born in 1938, Michael Clark Rockefeller was the son of New York governor (and later Vice President) Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller, and was a fourth generation member of the Rockefeller family, one of the richest, most powerful, and influential families in America. Michael had long had a passionate interest in art, and in 1957 helped established the Museum of Primitive Art, the first museum solely dedicated to such art. He was also an adventurer at heart, and yearned to travel to faraway lands and meet exotic tribes. It was this profound interest in art and his desire to experience another world that would eventually bring Michael Rockefeller across the world to the remote, mysterious land of what was then Dutch New Guinea. While exploring in that area, he disappeared during an expedition in 1961, and no remains or other proof of his death have ever been discovered.

Time to log on and disappear, the boys of Blurry Photos are diving into the Dark Web! A part of our connected world that many don’t even think about, the Dark Web is full of urban legends and touted as being a seedy underworld haven for criminal activity. But how much of that is true and how much has been blown out of proportion? The Davids take a look at what the Dark Web truly is, what the difference is with the Deep Web, and what rumors are true or not. Is it something to be worried about? Do we need to protect our families and values because we love them and freedom? Brace yourselves – Bitcoins are involved and Flora gets a little… perturbed. Get on your hackerman gloves and flip back your mullet, this episode is going to get deep!

I don't watch enough "Real" news to give any sort of enlightened commentary about the events of the past week, but I can say without any hesitation, that shit's fucked. The Southern US is a fucking powder keg, Europe is getting shit on by crazy Muslims, and global weather patterns are goddamn upside down. And every First Worlder is ignoring the chaos surrounding them with motherfucking Pokemon.
We're going to Hell in a handbasket; I guess you should at least enjoy the ride.
