Yeah, I'm sure there's people out there that still believe he's dead. That's just crazy. Just some rumor started by a college student or whatever, and people believed it. People will believe anything. People definitly read more into what was really there. Like on the foldout picture on the Sgt.Pepper album cover, Paul is wearing a patch that says "OPD". It really means Ontario Police Department, but what did people think it meant? "Officially Pronounced Dead"! That's ridiculous! The Beatles weren't involved with all of those obscure things, but I think later on they had some fun with it. Like in song lyrics and stuff, and I think that's really funny. People actually believed the "Turn me on, dead man" or "I buried Paul" stuff, and took it seriously. That was just the Beatles messing with people! ;D Can't believe some people can't figure that one out, the whole hoax became a joke in a way. Oh well...

How can you find someone to copy Paul that closely? I don't think anyone can be that good-looking and at the same time have a wonderful voice and play left-handed bass and write great songs. Plus have the same personality, it would be way too much of a coincidence. Can't believe people fell for that.

I'm sure that any sane person won't believe that Paul is dead.

I'm not 100% sure though that the hoax wasn't set up by The Beatles as a joke. There are just too many good clues.

In fact, the patch reads "OPP" which stands for Ontario Provincial Police.  





Here's my patch:



So much for that "clue!"

And here's DaveRam with the obvious scientific answer. :) Certainly, you can establish male identity within a reasonable percentage based on the Y chromosome. It depends on whether the guys have common male ancestors, as in the famous case of the "Smiths" descended from a real blacksmith... only half of them weren't, because way back in the line one of the Mrs. Smiths decided she liked the baker a bit better, so about half the Smiths are really "Bakers". But unless Mrs. McCartney decided she liked the baker better too, Paul and his brother should have the same Y chromosome. The chances of this fake Paul having the same genetic pattern are reasonably small unless, as previously stated, their different fathers share a common ancestry.

(Note: The story of the Smiths and tracking the Y chromosome vs. mitochondrial DNA (used to track maternal lines) is in Nicolas Wade's "Before the Dawn".)

Paul is dead is an urban legend alleging that Paul McCartney of the British rock band The Beatles died in 1966 and was replaced by a look-alike and sound-alike.

Evidence for McCartney's death consists of "clues" found among the Beatles' many recordings, most of which are treated as if they were deliberately placed by The Beatles or others

Well, I don't see any new information there. In fact, I've seen more about it among the posts in these forums. Personally, I seriously doubt that the true PM is dead, but I suppose my mind is open when it comes to the question of the group's involvement in the hoax as a ploy to boost record sales. I think it's highly unlikely, but I concede the possibility.

Two cents worth.

Its amazing how 3 words uttered back then still have an impact on today (esp when there's evidence that its wrong)

I dont know whether it was the Beatles who beagn it or not but McCartney is not dead.

So the Reptilians have infiltrated Wikipedia to spread reverse psychology disinformation (i.e., it's on Wikipedia, so you can't really believe it.)
