I happened to see the end of _Perfect Town, Perfect Murder_ on TV and it clearly stated that Jon Benet Ramsey’s parents had killed her. A while ago I saw a show about the case that seemed to make it pretty clear that the crime was just one of a series of similar events in the area and that the police evidence was terribly flawed. I was looking for some sort of analysis on the net and the first thing that came up for my search was [Reverse Speech](http://www.reversespeech.com/ramsey.htm), the brilliant technology that solves crimes by using the old _Revolution Number 9_ principle. Check out [The Reverse Lab](http://www.reversespeech.com/revlab.htm) and find out if OJ is guilty, what GWB is thinking, the truth about Roswell, Clinton’s impeachment. And the guy behind this is an Aussie. Oi. Oi. Oi. Read on dear Doper and the world will look a different place. ---

[Not as wacko as this](http://www.sff.net/people/doylemacdonald/r_ripper.htm) (the book being reviewed, not the website, BTW). ---

[QUOTE=Ruby] > [@](#): > > Noone is immune from Reverse Speech\*\* > > Why can’t those “Reverse Speechers” use SpellCheck? Because it’s not a typo, it’s the truth. I tried it on all my [Hermans Hermits](http://www.peternoone.com/) albums and it didn’t work on any of them. ---

I think the person who made [this flash](http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/daftpunk.php) demonstrating song reversal shares a sentiment similar to mine on this topic. 😃 ---
