    Hey folks,

    I’m presently listening to this episode and wanted to say thanks for the shoutout.

    This probably means that there’s no way out for me now ;)

    Great stuff, guys. Thanks. I’d never heard of the Voynich manuscript before now. Oddly fascinating.

    Brilliant stuff, though unfortunatley the Junior Science Minister was from the Republic o’ Ireland, and two of the Irish Skeptics went along to that book launch. Stephen talks about it on our podcast episode 3. Mays even gave one of us a free copy of his book – despite protest! :)
    Fun times…

    On the show you asked ‘cryptographer’ or ‘cryptologist’. Technically it should be cryptologist, however nearly everyone uses cryptographer.

    I think XKCD puts forward a good theory on the Voynich Manuscript http://xkcd.com/593/

    Fantastic podcast, funny, interesting and your free character assessment of the Pope is priceless. Working my way through all your podcasts, pure gold.

    As an Irishman I’m naturally way too thick skinned to be bothered about how Ireland is synonymous with the buggery of children on this podcast…! ;) Should I ever do my own (doubt it!) rest assured no mention of Liverpool will slip past without a reference to stolen hubcabs. Love the takedown of the Pope, his hypocrisy is genuinely staggering..! He’s rapidly ascended my hate-list and is right up there with Oprah and the Health Ranger. I’ve gotten through all your archive now which is a shame. And where the blazes is the next inkredulous?!
