"The Weirdest Book in the World"

Luigi Serafini has put together what must be coined "The Weirdest Book in the World."It's called Codex Seraphinianus (Latin, I believe, though I'm not sure if it means anything). The book appears to be about an unknown alien world, complete with pictures and text. However, it's written entirely in alien script -- with no translation to be found! On one page, there's a "Rosetta Stone" that translates the alien writing. Too bad it's translated into another alien language that's also indecipherable! The pictures are beautiful, purely original, and downright bizarre. Check it out if you dare!

Thanks Danielle for the tip!

SeraphiM with an M are angels, and codex means book or writing of some kind...

three years of HS Latin... but I don't remember much.
