On dubious theories
There’s actually a decent history of smart-assedly mocking this particular theory. In respect, I wanted to include a shout-out to Francis Heaney and Guy Jacobson, who discovered that the first sentence of Wallace’s own book:
This is my story of Jack the Ripper, the man behind Britain’s worst unsolved murders. It is a story that points to the unlikeliest of suspects: a man who wrote children’s stories. That man is Charles Dodgson, better known as Lewis Carroll, author of such beloved books as Alice in Wonderland.
is an anagram for this startling confession:
The truth is this: I, Richard Wallace, stabbed and killed a muted Nicole Brown in cold blood, severing her throat with my trusty shiv’s strokes. I set up Orenthal James Simpson, who is utterly innocent of this murder. P.S. I also wrote Shakespeare’s sonnets, and a lot of Francis Bacon’s works too.
Save on del.icio.us
Save on Stumbleupon
