This trivia question has still to be answered. Previous winners of RipperCon swag cannot win again. Give me the correct answer and the loot is yours. The best of British luck!

Conspiracists! Here are the magazines for you! You don't think that William Shakespeare, the Bard of Avon, wrote the plays.... well here's the proof that Christopher Marlowe did the deed. He must have been okay if his name was Chris, right? The magazines are yours if you are the first to tell me how Kit Marlowe died. As before, previous winners of RipperCon 2018 swag cannot win again.

Hi GUT

Looks like I owe you swag -- you indicated APACHE here before anyone else. Congratulations, cobber! Send me your snail mail address by PM if you would and I will get something off to you.

Cheers

The music at the end of this TIAA Investments commercial reminds me of a hit "toon" from 1962. The Man from Eagleville might be old enough to remember it but because he won loot before he can't answer.

The only one it reminds me of was 1961, re-released a few years later.

If you were thinking Cowboys and Indians, I agree.

I thought the melody in the TIAA commercial reminded me of TELSTAR by the Tornadoes (1962) but I was mistaken. Simon Wood over at JtR Forums has persuaded me that the melody is reminiscent of APACHE by the Shadows (1960) so all you guys were right and I was wrong.

Here's APACHE --

Hmmm. Is my mind playing tricks? I don't think so. Here's a hint: Think Sputnik and the Space Race.

Think Communications....

Not the one I was thinking it sounded like then.

Who discovered this photograph of second canonical Jack the Ripper victim Annie Chapman, believed to be the only authentic existing image of a canonical Ripper victim done in life?

If you are the first to answer this trivia question, you win a copy of the signed limited edition pamphlet, Coming Into Focus: Photographic Rediscoveries of the 21st Century published by Greystone Productions at the time of the 2004 U.S. convention at the BWI Airport Comfort Inn in Maryland.

Lucky winner will also receive the pamphlet, Annie Chapman, Jack the Ripper Victim: A Short Biography by that same authority who discovered the Chapman wedding photograph.

The best of British luck!
