Man. I step away for two minutes and I find yet another conspiracy simmering away right under our very noses.
This is Dame Edith Sitwell, Woman of Letters, esteemed poet, critic, novelist, droll defender of literary modernism. She died in 1964 at the age of 77….Or did she?
This is “Trent Reznor,” as she now calls herself. There’s no mistaking it: Dame Edith is alive, beyond all explanation, and pummeling us with angry, self-pitying dirges like “My Violent Heart.”
See? Right down to the three-day mustache. Come on folks, stay on your toes! Do we really want anachronistic poetesses serving up our apocalyptic industrial metal? I for one think not.
**UPDATE BY BILL: Excuse me for intruding, Kevin. But this whole thing goes much deeper than you think. Observe:

Unbelievably Important Update by Mike
Match Game contestant and TV character actress Gina Hecht is in on it! I repeat, MATCH GAME CONTESTANT AND TV CHARACTER ACTRESS GINA HECHT IS IN ON IT!!

I think the lack of FW Murnau lighting in that second picture is helping with the disguise. Kudos to you for the discovery, though!

Your head, it reminds me of a hole
The blackness of it, as one might regard your soul
I, good sir, would rather give of my life,
Then give unto you, control.

Wow. She looks great for 121 years old. She’s one feisty lady. You wouldn’t expect a grandma to sing “I wanna F*** you like an animal.

Hey, Kev… streeeeeetch.
So close there, Kevin. So close, and yet, I’m afraid your discovery doesn’t sitwell with me.
While your efforts are noble, you have only scratched the surface of this vast conspiracy.
I shall now, at great personal risk, unveil the shocking secrets of the lineage of Ms. Sitwell.
She is not, as you suggest, disguising herself as Trent Reznor, but is related to his close, personal friend, Mr. Marilyn Manson, formerly known as Mr. Brian Warner.
However this is not merely a case of new identity. As you can see from this picture, Mr. Manson (right) bears a striking resemblance to his father, Hugh Warner (middle).

Yes, it is irrefutable that Mr. Manson is an exact clone of his own father. And as such, being a direct descendant of Ms. Sitwell, is not the same person, but in fact her male clone.
I hope you’re happy, Mr. Murphy. You have just opened a can of worms which, now brought to light, will assuredly bring about the Clone Wars of 2008. And all while Bush is still in office. This shall, henceforth, be known as the blog that was heard around the world.

Must be clones, or super genetic humans manufactured from the same mold.

Ah!
I was subjected to all of the Harry Potter Movies over the holidays and through out I kept refering to that Alan Rickman character as “that Trent Reznor guy”…

Well, I see “the jig is up” as you Americans say. My true identity has been discovered.
I’d like to take this time to apologize to all of you good folks in “TVland,” as I believe it’s called in the states, for putting up with my shenaigans for so long. By shenaigans, I mean of course all of these dreadful, vomit provoking Harry Potter films I’ve been a part of. I’m sorry.
When I was born over 120 years ago as a woman, I’d never thought I’d end my varied career playing a pent up wizard in a horrible film series and have my “multiple identities” ousted on a website that is maintained by people who were once on a puppet show. But I must say, good work to all of you, especially you, Joel, and you too Mr. Weinstein. I must say that I never did like the other Tom Servo guy, he made the puppet seem so gay! Anyway, good work and ta ta for now!!

Wow… it’s the real Alan Rickman!! STAR OF STAGE, SCREEN, CAT FOOD COMMERCIALS AND BAD CHILDREN’S FILMS!! This comment is definitely from him, not some weirdo who is pretending to be him… no, not at all! 100% real celebrity! And how funny that he uses American slang in quotes, and also doesn’t realize that he mixed up these riffers with “those other riffers.”
Truly comedy hilarity at it’s finest!
