A good lesson learnt from Bifidus and the Crimson Giant

[cheryl penn]

Bifidus wrote and asked if I had looked in the envelope?

Confession time! I had not. For some obscure reason I had read into his work that the envelope should remain closed, that there was nothing inside, that symbols had no opening/business being interpreted ("Any symbol caught not being identical to itself is subject to automatic ejection, a $10000 fine and 12 hours community service"). I had read his work a certain way, but his intention was completely different. What a lesson in mis-interpretation! Sorry Bifidus! The envelope revealed a beautiful sheet of images on tracing paper (a references to seeing through?)

Bifidus are these stamps? Photocopies? And then you asked me what I thought. Here I am going to stick my neck out (not always a good idea!) and venture that they are some sort of Mayan/Native American glyphs/pictographs? Or are they Bifidusian Symbology? Coming from an African context I am not at all familiar with them?? EEK - I feel really out there... But thank you for a good lesson learned in my NOT seeing things as they really are and PLEASE enlighten me - as to intention and what you were referencing - the images are beautiful. The "pages" are steeped in "ages".

Bifidus - the day has been hectic - give us a CLUE!!! A Rose by any other name?

Should we be reading it right to left?

Can you tell us one of the letters Bifidus? Or is it too early?

Grrrrr, this is so frustrating. I spent 15 minutes and got not a thing yet.
:-o

And hey! All you other participants - help me out here!

Ok, I'm on the 'cracking' job - watch this space!

[Bifidus Jones]

The contents of the little envelope is pseudo-Mayan hieroglyphic writing and very "crackable". Remember, this is all just for fun, but yeah, glad you made the connection of the "seeing through" properties of the paper.

I'm trying to crack the code....
