Hmmm... anybody here remember Clifford Irving's exclusive biography of
reclusive tycoon Howard Hughes? Turned out to be a hoax. Then there were
the so-called Hitler diaries. A hoax as well, though authenticated by
authorities. Now that Jules has revealed his werewolf (vampire?) fangs, I
don't mind opining that he hasn't told us anything that couldn't be
cleverly extrapolated from the public record. If They can get you asking
the wrong questions, They don't have to worry about the answers.
