** And the reason [[From Hell]] is so accurate? He is [[Jack the Ripper]], too. He wrote the notes because he knew he would end up an author, and he'd want to write about himself.
** Not to mention [
* [[Patton|George Patton]], one of the great American army generals of [[World War II]], thought he was an incarnation of the greatest generals in history (i.e. [[Gaius Julius Caesar]], [[Napoleon Bonaparte]], etc.).
