CANTOR IDENTIFIED AS JACK THE RIPPER
(WASHINGTON) It's been reported that Michael Cantor is indeed the man known to Scotland Yard as "Jack the Ripper."
Although Scotland Yard, it must be emphasized, has not commented on Cantor, and there is no physical evidence that Cantor is, in fact, Jack the Ripper, it has not been conclusively proven that Cantor is not.
Since the discovery was announced by a man with no research facilities, no training in forensic science, and a track record of falsely reporting absolute baseless pablum, the natural question is, why anyone would question the study leading to the revelation.
"Who are these 'questioners,' and just what do they want with us?" a gathering of local poets inquired.
"I have a whole apartment full of whoop-ass," added Mr. Quincey Lehr enigmatically.
---------------------------------------------------------
So, by the standards of this board, we can conclude that Cantor is Jack the Ripper.
I have a real problem with printing "FIRE!" as the headline, when the actual news is that a bit of lumber found locally had a higher concentration of carbon. This goes for the Iraqi stats too.
It's insane. We all scratch our heads, and say "oh how terrible if it's true!"
There's just no reason to think it is. I think Seree's done a good enough job on this "story," and I use the word as inclusive of both literature and journalism.
