4. Why do you suppose the royal conspiracy gets so many votes?
Just the usual fascination with that bunch,as well as the Johnny Depp movie? It seems to be one of the shakier theories,to me.

6. Because we'd all love to see the Royals

Royally Fucked. It's all circumstantial of course, and reliant on obscure masonic ritual that no one really understands.

I am reading about all the suspects on the Ripper Casebook site and he DOES seem to fit doesn't he.

I still voted for unknown person.


Of course Babylon Five and Star Trek fans know he REALLY was!

11. Yeah. Can't be sure of course, but he's certainly no stranger to the work
It's either that or it was David Warner, and he escaped to 1970's San Francisco by stealing HG Wells' time machine!

16. You know!
He was that guy your cousin Lucy used to date. You must remember him. He drove that terrible lime green Chevy Nova that smelled like limburger and had all that greasy hair. Personally, I never understood why he had a meat cleaver for a hood ornament.

Well maybe you've never heard of him, but to us old Priest fans he is the obvious answer to that question. Check out http://www.judaspriest.com/sound/Meltdown1Short/TheRipper.mp3 with your volume turned up loud, and you'll see what I mean.
