Despite the "evidence", the theory that Caroline Magnum is actually Anne Frank has still not scientifically been proven to be true. Therefore, I removed it.

lol

[–]RabidRaccoon 1 point2 points ago

Objection! You can't prove anything in science, only disprove it. Therefore I'm reverting the removal.

[–]lahdeefuckingdahforu 9 points10 points ago

In what sane state, after all, would a modern-day musician write an album about Anne Frank? An indie-rock album about Anne Frank should not happen. The earnest obsession with the most ethereal of historical figures, the treatment of the most obvious 20th century tragedy.

Anne Frank was 15 when she vanished...

[–]specialservices 32 points33 points ago

Can you really prove that? It seems like this "15" theory is kind of far-fetched/grasping at straws. Come back to me when you have a legit, well-mapped out, researched and developed argument.

[–]Toovya 11 points12 points ago

When you travel at such high speeds we age much differently:

"A case of time dilation in action is that astronauts return from missions on the International Space Station (ISS) having aged less than the mission control crew that remained on Earth. Such time dilation has been repeatedly demonstrated (see experimental confirmation below), for instance by small disparities in atomic clocks on Earth and in space, even though both clocks work perfectly (it is not a mechanical malfunction). The laws of nature are such that time itself (i.e. spacetime) will bend due to differences in either gravity or velocity—each of which affects time in different ways."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation#cite_note-HSWTime-0

Possibly this was the longest they could travel without having complications with equipment or with their bodies.

"Oh, pity. Well, how old is she?"

"15."

[–]xlptu 65 points66 points ago

The biggest evidences are supressed in the image. It's the lyrics in the album ITAOTS:

Lyrics of the music In The Aeroplane Over The Sea:

"What a beautiful face, I have found in this place that is circling all around the sun; What a beautiful dream, that could flash on the screen; in a blink of an eye and be gone from me"

"Love to be in the arms of all I'm keeping here with me"

"there are lights in the clouds, Anna's ghost all around; hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me"

At the end of King Of Carrot Flowers pts 2 & 3:

"Up and over we go; The weight it sits on down and I don't know; I will shout until they know what I mean; I mean the marriage of a dead dog sing (?); And a synthetic flying machine, machine"

Anne Frank lived most of her life in Amsterdam, and supossedly died in 1945. Look at the lyrics of Holland, 1945:

"The only girl I've ever loved; Was born with roses in her eyes; But then they buried her alive; One evening 1945."

Anne Frank was born in 1929. It's from the lyrics of Ghost:

"And she was born in a bottle-rocket 1929; with wings that ringed around a socket right between her spine"

"I know that she will live forever; all goes on and on and on and she goes; And now she knows she'll never be afraid"

from the lyrics of Oh Comely:

"And I know they buried her body with others; Her sister and mother and 500 families; And will she remember me 50 years later?; I wished I could save her in some sort of time machine"

TL;DR: The album ITAOTS is about a beautiful love story that surpasses time barriers.

[–]ProPiper 31 points32 points ago

Wait what the fuck... the lyrics to Oh Comely pretty much confirms this theory.

[–]TehDoctor 11 points12 points ago

ha yeah. He wrote most of those songs because he read her diary and fell in love with her. But in relation to this time travel theory, he loved her for a while

I met him in the Lower East Side one time in 2010. I can confirm that he was wearing the same thing that he's always wearing (much like the Doctor) and he acted very peculiar, as if he had seen horrible things in his time (see: Last Great Time War, The).

Lets not forget her diary written with ballpoint pen which wasn't invented there back then - proof Anne travels in time.

[–]Rikkushin/int/ 49 points50 points ago

From annefrank.org:

"All the diary entries are written in various types of ink and (coloured) pencil, not in ballpoint. The document analysis by the Netherlands Forensic Institute showed that the main part of the diary and the loose sheets were written in grey-blue fountain pen ink.

"In addition, Anne also used thin red ink, green and red coloured pencils and black pencil for her annotations: not ballpoint. Nevertheless, the allegation can still regularly be seen on extreme right-wing websites and elsewhere that the diary of Anne Frank is written in ballpoint pen. Sneering remarks are made about "A. Frank the ballpoint girl", and it is pointed out that the ballpoint pen only came into common use in Europe after the Second World War. The conclusion forced by this allegation is that the texts in the diary could not have been written by Anne Frank herself."

The "evidence" consists of a matching surname, pictures of people that look nothing alike, and a Star of David in the background of a picture. Oh yeah, and the Jeff fucking Mangum made a time machine. Yes, it's absolutely absurd.

Or stole the music from someone else, went back in time stopped the original artist from ever being born and rewrote the music as his own.

Jeff Mangum is a made up name too. He obviously thought that Mangoo was too obvious when he created the identity but Mangum just about passes the smirk test.

Still like all good conspiracies he left evidence more or less in plain sight so that people could figure it out and then be written off as crazy. It's what God would do, if he were a /b/tard.

This would work if the album was about Anne Frank. Except it's not, so it doesn't. 3/10.

[–]Calahagus/r9k/ 3 points4 points ago

Did you listen to the album?

[–]GuerillaFiction 0 points1 point ago

yes. It's one of my favourites.

I'm of the opinion that it's about troubled women in general. I think Anne Frank is just an essential part of Jeff's imagery for the album, rather than it's focus (she's weaved in and out).

The cover backs up this (It's a woman with a drums head - you beat drums - it's an abstract picture of domestic abuse).

I honestly think that, considering some songs aren't about what people think, and some references aren't what people thought, it's less about Anne Frank that we think.
