Science may have identified Jack the Ripper

  The Daily Kos has reported that Jack the Ripper's identity may now be known. Genetic material obtained from a shawl found by Catherine Eddowes' body had DNA evidence from both Eddowes and one other person. Rather than restate things, I'll post links to both articles. The articles are from The Daily Kos and The Daily Mail. If this proves to be legitimate, we'll finally have the answer to one of the greatest unsolved crimes of all time.

Cryptozooic & Paranormal TV Shows

  What is it with all these shows about ghosts and Bigfoot and the like? There a complete waste of time. All they consist of is a bunch of people running around like fucking morons while being filmed by low light cameras. No meaningful evidence is ever collected. And it's like this every episode. How do these shows get on TV? One of the latest shows in this genre is Killer Contact. From what I've seen, the paranormal investigators are going to look for the ghosts of people like Jack the Ripper and Vlad the Impaler. The only two things they'll find are jack and shit. In the commercial for the show, one guy is trying to bait the ghost into appearing by acting all tough and aggressive. Of course it's easy to do this when there's nothing there. I almost wish Vlad the Impaler would show up, ram a pole up this guy's ass and put this dumb motherfucker on display just to get him to shut the fuck up. No evidence has ever been presented that definitively proves the existence of either ghosts or cryptozooic  creatures.

Jack the Ripper

Jack the Ripper

Jack the Ripper lived in London

Late in the 1880’s.

He was known throughout the land

As the killer of scarlet ladies.

He roamed the streets in dead of night

Giving harlots such a fright

Before they died beneath his knife.

Catherine Eddowes, “Long Liz” Stride

Many others also died

When they met with Jack the Ripper.

Jack the Ripper, Jack the Ripper

With his knife so sharp.

Had a touch more delicate

Than one who plays the harp.

Who is he, this mastermind?

It won’t be known for the rest of time.

Slasher Flick Mentality

Slasher Flick Mentality

Go put on your hockey mask

And don those finger knives.

We’re going to have a lot of fun

Ending people’s lives.

We might do it at a campground

Or kill them in their dreams.

It is so delightful

To watch them writhe and scream.

There’s such joy in terror

That is damn close to obscene.

We’re in our own way necrophiles

While we sit staring at the screen.

Hide your eyes and cover your head.

Or you might look up and find yourself dead.

In your imagination

While he does his grisly task

Are you the helpless victim

Or the one wearing the mask?
