The brandy distilled from hard cider was the first applejack, the word now synonymous with a children's cereal. There is the nefarious one-eyed jack of playing card fame. Animals from the jackdaw to the jackrabbit to the elusive jackalope roam all the ranges. There are the every growing number of people named Jack, birth named or nicknamed, heroes to villians. The way the word "jack" is used in the English language is truly unique, inventive, and too numerous for us to count.For your puzzle solving pleasure, Mysteries to Die For presents: Things that Go Jack in the Night.Pepper jack cheese.
