Unsolved Mysteries

There are a lot of mysteries in life.  Things we may never know (or, more likely, things I will never know, but someone, someWHEN, may figure out the answer). These are burning questions that strike at the core of humanity.  Without answers to these questions, it’s hard to sleep at night. True rest cannot be had so long as these mysteries go unsolved.

I’m your host, Robert Stack, and this is Unsolved Mysteries.

  • Why was Stonehenge built?
  • How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
  • How do they get that creamy filling inside Twinkies?
  • How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop (the world still doesn’t know)?
  • Was there a second shooter involved in the assassination of JFK?
  • Where was George Lucas going with Luke and Leia *before* he decided they were siblings?
  • Why are women, queer people, and PoC whitewashed in US public school history books?
  • Who was Jack the Ripper?

Oh, wait, we may be able to strike that last one off our list (thank all the non-existent gods in the non-existent heavens, one more hour of sleep)!  British writer Russell Edwards claims he knows the identity of Jack the Ripper!!

On the eve of the release of his book Naming Jack The Ripper, a British businessman claims that he has ascertained the real name of 19th century serial murder Jack the Ripper using 126-year-old DNA extracted from blood found on the shawl of one of his victims.

 

That’s all I’m giving you.  Go read the full story over at Raw Story.
