Casebook Message Boards: The Diary of Jack the Ripper: General Discussion: Maybrick Anagrams
Author: Edana Tuesday, 08 June 1999 - 12:52 pm | |
My anagram program has been busy. I typed in the name James Maybrick and came up with interesting combinations, a few of which I show below: KEPT CIPHER JAR JERK PAP THRICE JACK HER TIPPER CHEAP JERK TRIP JERK TRIPE CHAP HE PET PRICK JAR I RETCH JERK PAP JERK A PREP ITCH JACK RIP PET HER CAP JERK HER PIT PACK HER JET RIP PECK HER JAR PIT PICK HER JAR PET Whatever it's worth. When I typed in 'The Juwes are not the men to be blamed for nothing' I got nothing even after an hour had gone by. If I left out the word Juwes, I got about 1000 responses and had to stop the program because I wanted to go to bed. Some of those were interesting. I'll have to try it again sometime. Edana

Excuse me Edana: Aren't the anagrams that you have listed all anagrams of "Jack the Ripper" NOT "James Maybrick" --or am I missing something here? Chris George

Wow, yesterday was NOT a good day for me. yes, indeed, the anagrams are for Jack the Ripper and not James Maybrick. I think maybe I should just curl up and go to sleep. I did do James Maybrick too and got my clipping and pasting screwed up. Oh geez, I am embarassed. Edana

Ok, after the previous huge mistake, I will attempt to make amends by posting the James Maybrick anagrams. My apologies for the confusion. My favorites will be colored in red. By the way, did James Maybrick have a middle initial? BARMY JACK IS ME BASIC JERK AM MY ASK JAB MY CRIME I MAKES JAMB CRY I ASK MERCY JAMB MY IRE SMACK JAB SMACK MY EAR JIB MY BACK RISE JAM MY BARE SICK JAM JACK BAYS RIM ME RICK BAYS JAM ME SIR JACK MY BEAM A SICK MR JAM BYE AM SIR JACK MY BE SIR JACK BY ME AM MAY BE IS MR JACK JACK IS MY ARM BE BY MR JACK I SAME MR JAYBACK IS ME MY BEAR SICK JAM I BE MR JAY SMACK JACK BARS MY ME I Edana

Edana - I don't know, I thought 'Jack bays : "rim me!"' read rather well, actually!

Edana Are you sure its a program your using, or are you just short of something to do on an evening :-) Jon

Guy, I rather liked that one too, but was afraid to say so. The one right after it... 'Rick bays: "ram me" is another pretty good one. Jon, if only I had time to sit around jumbling letters for the amusement of Ripperphiles everywhere, no..it's a program. Edana

Where did you get your anagram program (like the rhyme)? I'm curious... Also have you tried the other phrase? I am currently reading the Diary of Jack the Ripper and they mentioned that there were two phrase..one the police read and one that the resident that found it said.
