Well, don't we all?  :-)
And most of us even got better things to do
as well. Roger Bacon was supposed to have written
the VMs while he was imprisoned. Lots of spare
time.
(Disclaimers:
1) I don't think that the VMs is a deliberate hoax
2) I don't think it was Bacon
)

Tongue-in-cheek:

The mind of the Voynich MS author and the minds
of its would-be decipherers - parallels and 
opposites in psychology.

Anyway, for me it certainly beats filling in
cross-word puzzles :-)
