Non-musical history for today: 1888 – The “From Hell” letter allegedly sent by Jack the Ripper was received by investigators. It was sent along with half of a human kidney. Of the thousands of letters claiming to be from “Jack,” this was one of the few that were considered seriously. Of course, it’s one of the greatest mysteries of the past few centuries and no one knows who the kidney came from, who sent it, or who Jack was. Fascinating.
