  Now, I've been interested in the Voynich Manuscript for quite some time now, and for that time I knew that this site was the go-to place for Voynich research. I've also taken note of some various Voynich Solutions, especially those using Simple Substitution to crack the Manuscript, and i have had confirmation bias in my head for a long time, basically, my theory was that no matter what, if you manipulate the manuscript enough, you will find what you are looking for, to test my theory, I "solved" the manuscript in a single afternoon.
  
  This solution is NOT meant to be taken seriously, and is meant to:
  1. Test the confirmation bias hypothesis.
  2. Parody other Voynich solutions.
  
  I know that simple substitution is not the right answer, but I tried anyway! Wish you all the best.

  You master the solver's technique very well! I wouldn't call it a parody though, since it's barely an exaggeration

  Maybe we need a subforum for non-serious solutions? 
  Some of them appeared already and I could try one myself.

  Oh, yeah, if you had published this in earnest exactly 100% of people on here would have taken you at your word. If anything, the "translation" is a little too coherent, and really falls short of the dizzying heights achieved by, "On the first day of moving on hands and knees a disabled child born from the marriage of relatives within the same family can be seen as praiseworthy by strangers. However, those familiar with the child may point to the child's wet nurse's nipples as the reason for this success and may feel that they should be caressed."

  I recommend trying it yourself! It's actually kind of fun!

  Considering the fact that this was pretty much my main goal, I see this as a success! Love the work you do by the way!
