I recommend listening to The Dollop episode about the New York Oysters. It's crazy (as are most of their episodes!).
Thank you! God the official site is so bad.
That looks like Thunder! You should check out the latest version; it has an improved Block Management page.
I prefer just about every third-party UI to the official one...

It was the famous interview where they asked her why Americans couldn't find the United States on a map. It went viral at the time.

Admittedly one of the benefits of Reddit was the extensive modding community that kept on top of things like this. In some news communities they would remove duplicate stories, even from different sources, for exactly the reasons you mentioned. Of course they could be overzealous too. :)
Thank you, I missed that!
Hey I just wanted to say, thank you for sending me down the rabbit hole of both of these texts. Fascinating!
Regarding the Voynich Manuscript, and to be fair to the person you're responding to, with no current decipherment, there is a good possibility it's a hoax.
Churchill acknowledges the possibility that the manuscript is either a synthetic forgotten language (as advanced by Friedman), or else a forgery, as the preeminent theory. However, he concludes that, if the manuscript is a genuine creation, mental illness or delusion seems to have affected the author.
Also the Codex Seraphinianus is much newer and self-admittedly describes an imaginary world in an imaginary language.
Anyway, thanks again for the Wikipedia adventure. :D
