I especially love the illustrations of completely implausible plants.

I had never heard of the Voynich Manuscript until I ran across it by pure chance yesterday. I added Piltdown Man as The Best Hoax, and I decided to check out what, if anything, other users had classified in this way. Well, today I was at Border's, and I found a book called The Friar and the Ciper by Lawrence and Nancy Goldstone, which is about the VM. I am very eager to read it. Thanks for bringing this fascinating mystery to my attention.
