The Voynich Ninja

I wanted to share with you a visual aspect of a page. I'm a visual person and i wanted to play with photoshop and try to understand what the text would look like if some characters/letters would be completely removed. So I started removing the characters and I got carried away, as you can see in the pictures below, removing characters based on their shape and frequency.

Exactly.....

It does look like it's laughing at us, doesn't it? You may be on to something here... Hmm...

Thank you for your answer. Yes the text on the last image is really like it's laughing at us.  I really don't know if it means anything at all or if i'm on to something. i'm just trying non- conventional methods and posting kind of interesting results

Quite a few years ago, a poster on Nick Pelling's cipher mysteries blog made a very similar analysis.
He observed a rather regular distribution of "c" characters, and based on this he argued that the MS was a fake, or at least had meaningless content.

Unfortunately, the poster's name escapes me right now, but it is someone who has a bit of a reputation in the crypto world.

That is probably Tony Gaffney / Sean Palmer you're thinking of.
