Hello I am new. I just signed up today.
I have to admit the only reason I've signed up is to try to have this one question answered.
I found a small notebook my father started when he was approximately 15 or 16 years old. The first 25 or so pages of the notebook is filled with quotes, thoughts, words of wisdom. Often quoting Alexander Pope, the Bible , poetry etc..
On the top of the third page is " Red Rum spelled backward is Murder"
This perplexed me because this note book dates to apooximately 1933.
Naturally I would like to ask Stephen King himself. But looking at all of the postings I realize that would be unlikely.
So what do you fine folks think? Is this a phrase common to the era or coincidence?
