Dang, the TvTropes Useful Notes pages (overview primers on real-world topics) are getting really comprehensive

@acetone_kitten I think I might have figured out why you were missing chunks of the TL on Tusky. Have you by any chance been leaving the app running in the foreground when you've closed your phone for long periods, rather than going back to the home screen first?
I think it's cool Ruin of Angels gives us a character name that includes a consonant not in English.

reality: a man falls through the earth and into parisian catacombs. taking a torch from the wall he spies row upon row of skeletons. grasping the nearest by the shoulders, he shakes it madly, yelling "my dude have u tried linux"
My two cents on the #VoynichManuscript: it's REALLY unlikely that Gibbs is right when he says he's deciphered it.
First: he's only approached the pictures and their captions, not the body of the text. When he says he's "deciphered" it he means "I'm pretty sure I know what the book's about", not "I can read the writing".
Second: his theory was already advanced - in 1943! - and (all together now) thoroughly debunked.
