The WTF of the day award goes to:

Richard Wallace the author of...
Jack the Ripper: "Light-hearted Friend."
Gemini Press. 1996. 293p. illustrations. index. ISBN 0-9627195-6-0. paperback. $13.

Just when you thought you've heard it all... Wallace tries to prove that "Alice in Wonderland" author Lewis Carroll was Jack the Ripper. He tries to do this by making anagrams from Carroll's writings which he believes are clues toward his true identity. Its actually quite an amusing book, though I find it hard to believe that even Wallace takes it seriously. um.......yeah.
