According to some South African historian http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070502/ap_en_ot/safrica_jack_the_ripper is a very good candidate.

Well, if you like this "solving a mystery" stuff (i do) you might want to check this out.

To me, Jack the Ripper has always been a very interesting "figure".

Prince Albert Victor.. He is the perfect candidate for such heinous crimes.
 
Everyone knows it was George W Bush and the neocons. DUH. Its just a big conspiracy to pin it on prince Albert as a prelude to an invasion of England. DUH.
 
I always thought it was you Marlon.
 
Off topic, but you guys (cyrus and marlon) really make a nice couple with these avatars. :-p

I think it's Cyrus. He's even changed his avatar in an attempt to throw us off the scent :biggrin:
 
Gotta say it: Roddenberry solved this one in 1967.

A noncorporeal lifeform that has existed for centuries by journeying from planet to planet and feeding off fear

...aka Redjac, Kesla on Deben II, Beratis on Rigel IV, and last seen as Hengist.

I am more of a Dracula type myself, but i appreciate the fact that you considered me to be a candidate.

Thanks
