Numerology And Catching The Ripper

No you’re wrong
Completely wrong
Not a clue, have I for you
Round a computer, Slowly they riel
Think of an object, driving them wild
My search for a psychic with balls
My search for a psychic with balls

Still on my desk,
In need of a rest
You must guess it soon, tomorrow by noon
Or I’ll not believe in the powers possessed
By those that claim that he future is set…
A search for a psychic with balls

WHAT IS THE OBJECT YOU FOOLS?

No such luck with ours, Sam - he (the trumpet-player, that is) was just crap.

I just spent a week playing Shadbolt in Yeomen Of The Guard - no Ripper vibes at all, Sam. Only the usual problems with the frigging brass section of the orchestra...

...they weren't improvising and trying to throw you off track, were they? Ours used to. I once did a whole week of the Desert Song, and each night the bugger (sic. - I did not mean "bugler") played a different bugle-call. It started off fairly tamely, with at least some "classical" stuff - one of the themes from Rimsky's Scheherazade, which at least sounded vaguely authentic. By the end of the week, however, he'd progressed via the William Tell Overture, to Henry Mancini's Baby Elephant Walk and, on the last night, a few bars from The Stripper. The audience loved it, and - thankfully - so did we on stage. The wicked little sod that he was

...and not written until quite some time after the Ripper murders, Graham.

If one were to posit a tenuous connection between Sullivan and the Whitechapel Murders, it would be Yeomen of the Guard - set, as it is, in the Tower of London and written in 1888.

Hi Sam,

1895 was the date for King Arthur, I believe. Sullivan said after attending the dress-rehearsal that he'd pay good money to have done with it.

King Arthur was just about the last major work Sullivan was connected with, a collaboration with Edward Burne-Jones and Henry Irving, and he was deeply disappointed with it...

Hi Chakk,

As someone with more than a mere passing interest in the life and works of Arthur Sullivan, I'd be fascinated to learn more about his supposed connections with Prince Eddy, Sir William Gull, James Maybrick (I assume you mean James), and J K Stephen.

The only concrete connection with these people that I can think of, off the top of my head, is that Sullivan and Michael Maybrick (a.k.a. Stephen Adams and the brother of James Maybrick) were almost certainly acquainted. Sullivan moved in Royal circles, as is well known, and may certainly have known Albert Victor ('Prince Eddy').

I would be profoundly interested if you can provide definite information that Sullivan was acquainted with James Maybrick and Stephen. This is not a cop-out, Chakk - I really am interested.

King Arthur was just about the last major work Sullivan was connected with, a collaboration with Edward Burne-Jones and Henry Irving, and he was deeply disappointed with it. Like many of Sullivan's 'grand' works, it is scarcely remembered today (probably with good reason - although I have never heard a note of music from it, I have to confess, but much of his 'grand' opera tended towards turgidness and High Victorian sentimentality).

I very much look forward to your response.

Regards,

Graham

This number 888 tells us that the man involved understoood numerology he was connected to an underground mystic organisation. This type of organisation would of known the 888 symbolism and its connection to Christ and its use of the Pythagorean number system.

This case resonates with Grail lore in numbers and in reality:

Robert D'Onston Stephenson changed his name to Roslyn.
Francis Tumblety was friend and perhaps lover of Hall Cain who was secretary to Dante Rossetti who painted Damsel of the San Grael.
Suspects like Prince Eddy, Gull, Maybrick, and J.K. Stephens are all in some way connected to the man who wrote incidental music for King Arthur, Sir Arthur Sullivan.

Holy Sh** !

Good Grief! Then the question is...why only one? LOL

The blue thing is a stone, as thrown by one of the Most Haunted team during a live broadcast, either that or one of my balls, it's bloody freezing this morning!!

In the bleak Midwinter,
Frosty winds made moan
Up Master Covell's trousers
And froze his balls to stone;
They fell out of his Y-fronts
And rolled along the floor,
And now he isn't half the
Man he was before.

In vain he re-attached them
With string and glue and nails,
But they simply hung and festered
Like salted garden snails.
The moral of this story
Is stark, and crystal-clear:
Wrap silver foil around your balls
At this cold time of year.

The blue thing is a piece of blue stone used as a paperweight and as a crusher of psychic theories.

What hidden number sequence predicts the 'blue' object on the desk infront of me ?

[Blackkat]

NO! I just felt the bumps on my head and they told me it was either a paperweight or a stapler.

Wait a second, I should consult the "straws"

I just have to dump them on the floor..wait a second, wait...wait...

Alas! the blue object on your desk is a stress ball.
