The Voynich Manuscript is a roughly 240 page hand written and illustrated manuscript that appears to be from the early renaissance which appears to be filled with information about plants, biology, astronomy, and other subjects but has proven completely impossible to decipher.  Originally purchased by Holy Roman Emperor Rudolph II, it has been eluding the best cryptographers ever since.  Will someone ever crack the code, or is the manuscript possibly just a giant nonsensical joke?  Take a listen and see what you think.
