Subby gets a nutkick for badmouthing The Simpsons. End story.

Sick burn on the simpsons bro, pretty avant-garde of you.

The Simpsons is a good 5-6 years past its prime
subby's remark is valid

The compelling thing to me about the Voynich Manuscript being cracked someday isn't the awesome encryption used, it's wondering if there is any info in there that is either unknown today, or on an equal footing wwith what's known today. Someone writing about current knowledge, or even stuff we do not know is interesting to think about. If it's merely an encoded version of the medical/scientific facts at the time that'd be a let down. Neat encryption still but 'putteth a leech onto the open wound to cure thee patient of dropsy, vapors and possesion of Daemons' isn't that exciting.

I've read the German transcript, and the English one, and it's still a load of gibberish to me.

Boy, are you being generous.

BE .. SURE .. TO .. DRINK. .. YOUR ... OVALTINE

Damn! I was this close to breaking it.

1) $ubby, you really don't know why the $impson$ i$ $till on the air? $hame on you.

2) You know what would be really funny? If someone made a "drink your Ovaltine" joke. I'm sure no one in the thread has thought of it yet.

I read that as Chipotle Cipher. I'm hungry.

The Simpsons is likely to be off TV soon.

I remember reading that canceling the show would allow FOX to redo the syndication contracts and net them 900 million or some such crazy number....

Gyrfalcon: Let me know when the Voynich Manuscript gets solved.

I still think it says nothing, and is just a massive hoax by the medieval author who is laughing in his grave to this day.

I prefer the XKCD explanation: that it's the Dungeon Master's Guide for an epic medieval AD&D campaign.

Who holds back the electric car? Who made Steve Gutenberg a star?

I could have cracked it. I just didn't want to.

The rituals detailed in the document indicate the society had a fascination with eye surgery and ophthalmology, though it seems members of the society were not eye doctors.



WUT?

Simpsons is hit and miss. Some nights are great, topical, socially relevant, and down-to-Earth. Others are over-the-top to the point of being retarded. It's 50/50 anymore.

/Won't miss the Halloween special though.

"When you get a new code and look at it, the possibilities are nearly infinite," Knight said.

I wish people would stop using this meaningless phrase.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's a massive troll.

New Dan Brown book will be available before Christmas.

Irregardless of your wishes, people will continue to use it.

Damn it, numbone, you beat me to it.

That's almost impossible for that to happen.

I find all the butthurt from the dregs of society who've yet to realize that the Simpsons jumped the shark a decade ago to be hilarious.

+1, subby. +1.

Pvt. Snowball: The Simpsons is a good 5-6 years past its prime

Saying the Simpsons is past its prime is a good 15-16 years past its prime.

"1 = A, 2 = B, 3 = C.... Wait a second!"

fark the manuscript, somebody dig up that laughing corpse! That shiat would be amazing to see.

raygundan: Pvt. Snowball: The Simpsons is a good 5-6 years past its prime

Saying the Simpsons is past its prime is a good 15-16 years past its prime.

I'm so hip, The Simpsons was past its prime 2 years before it started airing.

jigger: "When you get a new code and look at it, the possibilities are nearly infinite," Knight said.

But what if they mean "infinite, but minus just a few"? That's ok, right? Surely you don't mean to suggest that that concept doesn't apply to a set that can be placed in one-to-one correspondence with a proper subset of itself?

Still infinite.

I don't think it was a troll, but rather a prop for an alchemists' show.

Apparently a few of the people who could possibly be the author of the Voynich manuscript earned their keep as alchemists.
Maybe one of them needed an important-looking book that he could consult when he staged a mysterious ritual in front of an audience...?



B-I-N-G-O !

the most interesting part of the article is way at the end, for those of you who skimmed or didn't get there:
