Deciphering the Dark Secrets of Codex Seraphinianus

YouTube description:

What's the weirdest book ever published? The "Codex Seraphinianus" could stake a claim. Philosophers have pondered its meaning and code-breakers have tried to decipher the text. But the question remains: What does it mean? We caught up with the book's Italian author Luigi Serafini to try to figure it all out.

This Great Big Story was inspired by Genesis.

*quality weirdness
It reminds me of a carving I made in high school. When pressed to explain what it was, I described it as an impressionistic interpretation of an invisible dog hiding behind a tree....without the tree.

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by newtboy.

I've been creating something like this for 10 years, but I don't know if I'll ever finish it or release it. This is awesome.

All this speculation that went on about the book, and we could just ask the guy about it, finally!

Voynich did this a loooooong time ago. Bit late to the party pal.

And imagine we'd go 1000 years in the future and people would've built a religion on that shit.
If Jesus knew how much fun he could've had with future generations, we'd be doing much more interesting things than just marvel at magic underwear and secret handshakes.

All this speculation that went on about the book, and we could just ask the guy about it, finally!
