*Looks like some kind of statistical Google Translator riff applied to ancient manuscripts.

*I'm keen to have the Internet – that gigantic destroyer of analog media – reading me some ancient, humanly indecipherable manuscripts. That would rock! Lord only know what the machines will find for us. The Necronomicon, maybe?
*Consider, for instance, the ancient and very apocryphal "Gospel of Thomas."

17 Jesus said, "I will give you what no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, what no hand has touched, what has not arisen in the human heart."
13 ... When Thomas came back to his friends they asked him, "What did Jesus say to you?"
Thomas said to them, "If I tell you one of the sayings he spoke to me, you will pick up rocks and stone me, and fire will come from the rocks and devour you."
