has anyone read this book by patricia cornwell?
i enjoyed all of the forensic science which she clearly explained, and just imagine, what if she's right ?
just goes to show that today it ain't easy to get away with murder --- even if you did it over a century ago.
Oh, and Big Tex.....
About that Fruedian comment...
Apparently Sickert had a deformity in the, um....whole FRUEDIAN area you are speaking of (big knife, etc...)..
Anyhow, he had a ton of surgeries as a kid to "Correct" it, and it's the general thought that they didn't correct anything, but actually pretty much mutilated it. Possibly making it impossible to "do the deed".
So, could explain a lot about his anger w/ women.

I've read it.
And you're right....Scotland Yard does agree w/ her findings, and told her that if it had happened today, based on her findings, they'd have enough evidence for trial.
Walter Sikert's stuff IS creepy, and he did a Camden Murder Series of paintings of women being killed. There's a lot of pictures of his work in the book, as well as pictures of the victims. If you set them side by side, the resemblence is pretty creepy. Cornwall said something about every artist painting what they know, and some of the faces, positions, and even the bed frames of his paintings, match the murder scenes and the victims.
They did test the Mitochondrial DNA, and they couldn't get a conclusive match, due to the ages of the specimens, but they got a definate DNA profile, and it seems to match up. She put the DNA charts in the book as well. Also, some samples of the ripper letters and some letters that Sickert had written. They have the same little scribbled drawings on them, as well as a lot of the ripper letters have little clues that seem to point to Sickert. Like most killers, he seems to have left a calling card on a lot of them. THere are his initials, he signs some of them w/ names of parts he'd played when he was an actor, etc. Also, a lot of the paper has the same watermarks, and were from the same batch of like 120 sheets. (yes, she had this tested).
It's pretty compelling, and I tend to go along w/ her findings. I think she finally figured it out.

what do you think are the cutest accents?
i'm becoming partial to british accents for reasons i don't care to state.
i don't think i have one but, perhaps i'm wrong.
LOL @ Tink.
Yeah, I'd fail miserably at trying to fake one. Tho', when i have a cold, i sound Canadian. "Aboot!"
Barry- I'm w/ Tink....we really don't have one. And if it is considered an accent, it's a pathetic one.
here are some of the bands, preformers, songs, and albums that the watchtower society has banned from it's members.
see if you can spot your favorite!!.
w93 2/22 25-27take heavy-metal music-a particularly noxious form of hard rock that is usually played at ear-splitting volume.
Does anyone else find this comment hysterically funny?
Rappers sporting names as brash as their music-Public Enemy, M. C. Hammer, and Vanilla Ice-were soon filling the airwaves with their thundering brand of music
MC HAMMER AND VANILLA ICE?? BRASH??
Holy cork.

Northwest people (northern cali - up) don't have an accent.
Sadly.
Be nice if I did.

Azzie-
When you're partial to someone WITH a Jersey accent...you become partial to the accent.
