Quote:Gibberish
A recent experiment in which volunteers were asked to write pages of gibberish produced texts with similar characteristics to the Voynich Manuscript. The volunteers tended to intersperse a string of long words with a string of short words, chose short words beside illustrations according to the available space, and, in headings, used variations of the title words in the text below. Significantly, the volunteers invented gibberish using a process called self-citation, in which new words largely adapt those written earlier. Scholars have previously proposed this as the method used by Voynich scribes. Is the Voynich Manuscript therefore… meaningless?
