Have you ever heard of the Alchemists - those old wizards who worked in their labs, mixing different substances together, trying to create the Philosopher's Stone and turn lead into gold? They wrote many strange occult books with esoteric pictures and funny words that no one else could understand. However, one six hundred year old alchemical codex called the Voynich Manuscript is written in a language unlike any other, and scholars have still not been able to decifer the text to access the secrets of the Voynich manuscript. Experts at the Siloe publishing house worked to create replicas of the Voynich Manuscript after the company won the rights to produce identical copies of the mysterious illustrated hand-written codex. Perhaps now some prodigy will finally be able to solve the code and put the mystery to rest.
Parts of 26-year-old Brandy Odom's dismembered body were found in a Brooklyn park over two years ago. Now, Newser reports prosecutors now have a theory in the notorious and grisly unsolved murder. Last week, Odom's roommates—Cory Martin, 33, and Adelle Anderson, 32—were charged with federal wire fraud and identity theft crime. What's more, prosecutors say text messages and YouTube searches have led them to believe Martin killed Odom. They say further charges may come. Martin bought a reciprocating saw from Home Depot, then performed YouTube searches on 'how to insert blade for reciprocating saw.' Prosecutors believe Martin killed Odom so that he and Anderson could collect on two life insurance payouts, totaling $200,000.
For some wealthy Americans, a stamp just won't cut it as a ballot-delivery device: they're determined to cast their votes in person. According to Business Insider, some wealthy voters are chartering private planes to get to the polls in their home state on Election Day. Private jet charter company evoJets says at least four customers have booked flights specifically to vote, and all of those are headed to swing states. Two of the chartered trips are to Florida, which has 29 electoral votes. Two jet-setters booked flights from popular quarantine getaways to get to their swing states. One is flying from Colorado to Pennsylvania, which has 20 electoral votes. Another is headed from Wyoming to Ohio, which has 18 electoral votes. Even for a same-day round trip, such journeys can cost tens of thousands of dollars.
