  Voynich manuscript
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voynich_manuscript
  

  Scientists have harnessed the power of artificial
  intelligence to unlock the secrets of an ancient
  manuscript that has baffled experts.

  Discovered in the 19th century, the Voynich manuscript
  uses “alien” characters that have long puzzled crypto-
  graphers and historians. Now, however, computing
  scientists at the University of Alberta say they are
  decoding the mysterious 15th-century text.

  Computing science professor Greg Kondrak and graduate
  student Bradley Hauer applied artificial intelligence to
  find ambiguities in the text’s human language.

  The first stage of the research was working out the
  manuscript’s language. The experts used 400 different
  language translations from the “Universal Declaration of
  Human Rights” to identify the language used in the text.
  Initially, it seemed like the text was written in Arabic,
  but the researcher’s algorithms revealed that the manu-
  script is written in Hebrew.

  “That was surprising,” said Kondrak, in a statement.
  “And just saying ‘this is Hebrew’ is the first step. The
  next step is how do we decipher it.”

  Kondrak and Hauer worked out that Voynich manuscript was
  created using “alphagrams” that use one phrase to define
  another so built an algorithm to unscramble the text. “It
  turned out that over 80 percent of the words were in a
  Hebrew dictionary, but we didn’t know if they made sense
  together,” said Kondrak.

  The initial part of the text was then run through Google
  Translate. “It came up with a sentence that is grammatical
  and you can interpret it,” Kondrak explained.

  The sentence was: “She made recommendations to the priest,
  man of the house and me and people.”

  The full meaning of the text will need the involvement of
  historians of ancient Hebrew. The vellum, or animal skin, on
  which the codex is written has been dated to the early 15th
  century.

  The research study is published in Volume 4 of Transactions
  of the Association for Computational Linguistics.

  There have been multiple attempts to decode the Voynich
  manuscript. In 2014, for example, researchers argued that the
  illustrations of plants in the manuscript could help decode the
  text’s strange characters. In 2011, a self-proclaimed “prophet
  of God” claimed that he had decoded the book.

  "sounds like a put up job to me"

  Compared to the JWs leaders' blood doctrine or having homosexuals murdered with rocks or believing Jim Jones could be believed despite his beatings and sex offers and etc.? He didn't have to believe his own stuff to get cult followers to do his bidding.

  According to Wikipedia, as best we can figure from differing accounts, Manson
  had some tough breaks but not all that had them had his story. Some, no matter
  how poor, would never join a crime group, but he seems to have had an unflagging
  intention to make it in the crime world from youth and stunk at it--perhaps a
  growing source of frustration.
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Manson

  Note that the stories he offered vary but give the responsible ones as the bad
  guys to get away from and the criminals were the ones to be a part of.

  When I say org. crime would consider him too risky I'm not kidding. He was
  considered dangerous early on. You could just hear him talk for less than a
  minute and know something wasn't wired up right. He may have fared better in
  better circumstances but to some degree he was a self starter.

  He may have been a nasty crazy man who led a cult to murder people and carved
  stuff on his face, but at least he didn't join the Mafia, DNC, or the JWs lead=
  ership. He would have been considered too risky.

  Have you seen Eraserhead (1977)? ... spoilers!

  i had heard a bit about it, most of it positive.

  i typed 'eraserhead review' into youtube and quite a few videos came up that presumably attempted to explain the film.. i couldn't be arsed watching a youtube vid with some artsy-fartsy person droning on about eraserhead and lynch so i thought i'd start an op about it instead.. i bought the dvd a few days ago.

  i gotta say, it's quite a strange film.

  i went to see blade runner 2 because i liked the first one.

  even tho the first one was i think rated r, i still saw it.

  the whole atmosphere of the first one was bizarre and real to itself.. if you don't want to be spoiled, don't read on.. with high hopes, despite hearing that it tanked at the box office (are the critics crazy?
