It's funny...I had exactly the same response, wondering how many people who

True Believerism. :-)
Many a true word spoken in jest. The 75 pages of books on Amazon may become
obsolete but I doubt that will be the end of it. Could be a whole new industry
of conspiracy theories about how he didn't work alone etc... Maybe he worked
with Benji Creme's female ripper.
The permutations are endless as will be the refutations that the science is
flawed. See also The Turin Shroud, Creationism etc...
Well, I don't know about anyone else, but I'm going to celebrate the solving of
this century-old mystery by indulging in my own bit of True Believerism and
re-watching "From Hell." That's my favorite of all the Jack The Ripper movies
ever made, hands-down, and I'd much rather believe that version of the Jack
tale to be correct.
It's not so much who the creators of this film thought Jack was that makes
their version interesting, though. It's the detective who is trying to find
Jack who is interesting. In all seriousness, I think that Inspector Frederick
Abberline is one of the greatest characters in the entire history of crime
fiction. I mean, a police detective who solves crimes by smoking opium and
drinking absinthe and then having visions of the killers is pretty damned cool.
Having that character played by Johnny Depp is just brilliant. If you like
cinema and somehow missed this movie, you really shouldn't have.

Very interesting. I have often wondered, can't wait to see the response from
the great many Ripperologists. If it's true then that's a major industry dead!
