His victims were exclusively prostitutes who were mutilated after death. Several letters were sent to the police supposedly penned by the Ripper most discounted as hoaxes. One of the most intriguing aspects of the case is that is has never been solved.

034-Duels?

When honor is at stake the only thing worth laying on the line is your life. As a ancestor of Chivalry and Trial by Combat, dueling often seems like a brutal and cruel activity. Dueling conjures up visions of wild west shootouts at high noon as well as Samurai in kimonos eyeing each other, hands ready at the sword hilt. Duels generally were held only between aristocracy, at a designated date and time with a predetermined weapon. This set of criteria differentiates dueling from the common street fight. So strap in to your harness, grab a chainsaw and remember “Two men enter, one man leaves!”.
