Why is it taking so long to get approved to post over at casebook.org? I’ve been waiting for more than an hour! Don’t they know, there is somebody wrong on the internet!

Hasn’t it been conclusively proven that Tycho Brahe was Jack the Ripper?
I believe so: Tycho (foolishly) kept a careful log of his movements, which allowed his assistant Kepler to deduce the details later.
I have now, by dint of years of research, established quite conclusively that the man known as Jack the Ripper was the true author of Shakespeare’s plays (as well as the works of Bacon and the Earl of Oxford). I have discovered a truly marvellous proof of this, which this margin is too narrow to contain.
