"University of Bedfordshire professor and applied linguist Stephen Bax has decoded 10 words of the baffling Voynich Manuscript. He focused on proper names that would match the accompanying drawings, which allowed him to find similar drawings in other books of the period."

    Hey guys, I just heard some sad news - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Soylent community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

      I mean, it's no Beowulf cluster of naked and petrified Natalie Portmans covered with hot grits and confirmed by Netcraft.

    Supernaturalism is not science fiction.
