In the early 1800’s a hotel owner was entrusted with a locked box, when he eventually opened it he found that it contained 3 coded messages. The coded messages were supposedly described the location of a buried treasure. Only one of the cyphers has been broken. The answer to the others, like the treasure itself, has never been found.

The Voynich Manuscript, written about 500 years ago in an unknown script, has eluded all attempts at deciphering it. What does the text mean? What do the illustrations actually represent? Where did it come from? Thinking Sideways looks at it from every angle and enlists the help of Dr. Stephen Bax in trying to understand what it is all about.

Some of our Research:
The basic wiki
It was written by Leonardo da Vinci
It is a cypher
Dr. Bax’s partial decoding of the text
Tiaz and Tiaz have a different take
The manuscript was written in New Spain
It is just plain gibberish

In June 2011, a team of Swedish treasure hunters discovered a 200′ wide saucer-shaped artifact at the bottom of the Baltic Sea. Is the Baltic Sea Anomaly a natural formation, something man-made, or… a spaceship?

On August 15th, 1977, Jerry Ehman was working on a SETI project when he detected a 72-second long blast that crescendo-ed in a noise 30 times louder than the background. Jerry circled the text recording of this noise, commenting “Wow!” next to it in red pen, inadvertently naming the phenomenon. Nothing like it has been recorded since.

The time has come for the Feline Overlords to show their power. How? By proving that the cast of TSP doesn’t always get it right.
