# Talk:Agrippa (A Book of the Dead)

In which the author deposits morsels of verifiable coverage. Skomorokh 02:10, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

What is this supposed to mean?

"there remains doubt as to whether any books were actually made"
it comes at the end of a paragraph listing libraries where copies of the book can be found. Uucp (talk) 22:12, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Given that I was part of the process behind cracking the encryption (hosted the contest), it would be preferable if someone else moved the pertinent details from http://www.crackingagrippa.net/submissions-toc.html to the article. The cryptography is now fully cracked and fully understood. --Quinn d (talk) 00:21, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

I'll do what I can, but you're in the best position to explain things clearly. Just keep WP:NPOV and WP:COI#suggestions in mind, which you obviously have done already. If in doubt, write out what you'd like to add/change here, and someone else can then copy it into the article if they agree that it's acceptable (or tweak as needed). -- Quiddity (talk) 01:52, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

What does the following mean?
"Gibson's text focused on the ethereal, human-owed nature of memories retained over the passage of time"?
More specifically, what is,
"the ethereal, human-owed nature of memories retained over the passage of time"?
And, what is,
"the ethereal, human-owed nature of memories"?
And, what is,
"ethereal, human-owed nature"?
I don't think the sentence stands up to scrutiny or actually makes sense.
Perhaps I'm missing something
Can someone either explain or write a meaningful replacement or delete the sentence altogether?
I suspect that the sentence might have been included as a joke at Wikipedia's expense. If so, it has succeeded. 86.180.11.217 (talk) 23:59, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
