The Voynich Manuscript

There's a lot more info here.
No news today of Xena whereabouts from Iris.  I'm assuming by DR that she's in the Balabac Strait.
So... for those of you checking in, and so's not to make your visit wasted, here's a bit of thoroughly useless, but fascinating information:

From the Huffington Post, a leftie site, but getting info from Fox News; hmmm....


The Voynich Manuscript, a book seemingly written in an "alien" language, has stumped scientists and historians for decades.
But at least now they have a date.
The book, which was found by a book dealer in an old chest outside of Rome in 1912, was carbon-dated by a team of scientists from the University of Arizona, according to an UA press release.
Carbon-14 dating suggests the book was created between 1404 and 1438, reports Fox News.
