If I'm not mistaken, there actually was a theory about this as there were some unsolved murders of women of the night a couple years after Jack the Ripper. I believe there was an hour long"news" show that discussed it

"WHAT IS THE SUBMISSIONS WINDOW?
All submissions must be uploaded between April 23rd, 2012 and August 23rd, 2012"

Better get thinking and moving!

I wouldn't get too excited about guessing any candidates.
Whatever it is they're looking for will be in the initial development & introduction stages of the product life cycle, thus few people will even be aware of its existence outside of developers who may be seeking their own promotional material.

They pull out all the stops and put all their resourced together. They need Fake Id's, disguise's and enough money to recieve a lap dance, but first, they will have to get pass the bouncer! Will there plan work or will they get caught? (copyright@racereed)

Untitled#31: A scientist invents a incredible device that seems to make life easier for people. Although this device is popular amonst people, does it do what is was intended to do or does this little device have a mind of its own?
