I prefer looking at the places, history and mythology than all the creepy corpse pics, and the details of the actual crimes.
I'm a wuss.
That pic doesn't display...Yes! There should be a thread for The psychogeography of Jack the Ripper's London!!!
I was looking on google today. Seems like the Bucks Row site has been totally obliterated.
But I did find this, which is so spooky and sad.
How about that?I know
I'm no good with computers...
It should work if you copy and paste it manually.
*note to self* NEVER go anywhere with members of this forum. i will end up skinned and buggered.A handbag got stolen from one member that night (no longer posting, not due to said theft).
At another London meet we discovered the 'Spankorama' in Soho (but made our excuses and left).
There was an unfortunate outbreak of faux Irish dancing in a dog rough Irish gay pub that almost got another member of this forum killed at another meet in Brighton.
The meet you're thinking of was just a couple of folks from here met up with another person who used to post here and said person turned out to be not quite as good company as we'd hoped for and to cut a long story short we barely escaped with our lives.
It does sound like that, from what Heckler says.*note to self* NEVER go anywhere with members of this forum. i will end up skinned and buggered.
Here's a direct link to the article lest it gets lost in the mists of time:Listverse has a new article pinning the blame definitely on Kosminski. I don't know a huge amount about him, but it seems to me to be a case of cherry picking, especially the DNA evidence.

From that article:
In 1891, Aaron Kosminski was confined to the Colney Hatch Asylum. The 5 “canonical murders” which have been officially credited to Jack the Ripper stopped soon after.
...The “canonical five” were committed between 30/31.8.88 and 9.11.88. Where does 1891 come into it?...
The Star Trek episode, "Wolf in the Fold"
I think that was a name used on one of the other planets the entity had gone to?
Wolf in the Fold said:COMPUTER: Redjac. Source Earth, nineteenth century. Language, English. Nickname for mass murderer of women. Other Earth synonym, Jack the Ripper.
There was a Babylon 5 episode with jtr in it.The Star Trek episode, "Wolf in the Fold"
... One curiosity. It gives old JR the alternate moniker of Redjac. Any precedence for that, or was it made up entirely for the episode, I wonder?
"Mr. Carmody," he said, "have you ever heard of — Jack the Ripper?"
"The murderer?" I asked.
"Exactly. The greatest monster of them all. Worse than Springheel Jack or Crippen. Jack the Ripper. Red Jack."
