In a related vein, consider the work of a Minnesota folk hero from the last century named Ignatius Donneley. Aside from trying to start a Utopian community just north or our town, he wrote a book "proving" that Shakespeare was really Francis Bacon. His proof was based on "decrypting" hints in messages hidden in Shakespeare's writings. Donneley also wrote a book on Atlantis (available from Dover) and another postulating that a huge comet caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. A crackpot, eh?
