Jack the Ripper
« on: February 15, 2004, 03:48:21 pm »
Is anyone else interested in him? I'm watching a show about him right now on the Discovery channel, it's really really interesting!

I have yet to read that one book someone recently wrote about him, i'm still on the waiting list! On the show they show footagge of this really cool tour you can take of the different places Jack the Ripper murdered all his prostitutes, it looks really cool! One more reason why I need to go to England. :-P

he's a famous killer isn't he?

yes, that's the book! I put my name on the waiting list halfa  year ago! but, my library is the only one in the county who has it, so they keep loaning it out. i think i might just buy it.

i will never see from hell, too many people i know have seen it and say it was the most gruesome movie they've ever seen....and i'm a wimp :-P

EDIT: my sig and av suddenly changed....and i like it! I'm guessing it's the magical work of christine, thanks! :-D

You can get the paperback for 7.99 new.  If you have used bookstore in your area, you can probably get it much cheaper.

He almost murdered my grandma! He went to her house, and if it wasn't for the pictures of my dad on the aunt he might have done it! But he was normally against harming children (except for the pregnant lady).

we don't have a used bookstore, but $7.99 is cheap enough, better than waiting any longer :-P

I just think it's really interesting what different stories and ideas people come up with. Like on the show I watched, there was this one guy who read a paper writte on people who were suspected to be Jack the Ripper, and on it he wrote that he knew whew Jack was, and the name, and it was one of the suspects. It'd be cool if they found out who it was, though I know it's pretty much impossible since that was way long ago.

Yeah, thankfully!!
She actually didnt know he was there though... she was down in the kitchen late at night, getting ready to go on vacation. She heard a car door slam, and looked out the window to see a car (his car) leaving. She didnt think too much of it and went on her trip... but when she got back, she was told that it was him!
I think the miracle is that there were the pictures of my dad and my aunt by the window he looked through, cause if he didnt see them who knows what he woulda done!

From Hell was AWFUL!  I had my eyes closed about 95% of the time.  Johnny didn't even look all that great in it, and Heather Graham's accent was sooooo phoney!  I mean, my cat could do it better.  Anyway, I have yet to read Patricia Cornwell, I still have to get The Body Farm by her.
