-How much is inside? This is a favorite at my workplace. (When customers ask how long a Sharpie lasts, we are sure to tell them that it labels 968 CDs.)


-The Voynich Manuscript. A handwritten book apparently from the 13th century, in an unknown language. Is it a code? A constructed language? Nonsense? Whatever its meaning, the script is quite beautiful.


-The Diary of Samuel Pepys. One entry a day. LJ feed at pepysdiary.


-Geoffrey Pullum of languagelog has several posts on why he hated The Da Vinci Code, focusing on Dan Brown's interesting linguistic choices. V. amusing.

It has owned your soul since the first time you read an entry
you made a contract with the dictionary, so that your soul would belong to it....
