Quoted from Hello Goodbye
In fact, the patch reads "OPP" which stands for Ontario Provincial Police.  

So much for that "clue!"


Excellent! *high fives Hello Goodbye*

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—as if McCartney's death was a mystery to be solved by the public.

Purported clues include statements allegedly heard when a song is played backwards, symbolism found in obscure lyrics, and ambiguous imagery on album covers. A few of them are well known, such as the fact that McCartney is the only barefoot Beatle and is out of step with the others on the cover of Abbey Road, but others are far more obscure, such as the allegation that bisecting the words printed on the drum on the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band cover shows a coded message.

It is often unclear whether proponents spread this story as a joke or as a real conspiracy theory. The rumour has been the topic of much sociological examination because its development, growth, and rebuttal took place very publicly, due to the Beatles' enormous popularity and propensity for hidden messages and double meanings in their songs, as well as in their album titles and artwork.

Many fans have claimed that the rumour was a hoax perpetrated by The Beatles, either as a joke, or to stimulate record sales (the initial call placed to Russ Gibb coincided with the release of Abbey Road). This was denied numerous times by all four band members.

Longtime "Paul is dead" expert Joel Glazier wrote[1] a 1978 treatise which included a theory suggesting John Lennon's love of wordplay and clever studio editing may have been responsible for the more bizarre clues in later albums, and that after Charles Manson claimed The Beatles were hiding references to an upcoming racial war in their song "Helter Skelter", the band members may have chosen not to reveal the joke.  :

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.)
