For a more factual account of the origins of the Paul is Dead rumor, I
suggest checking out the Turn Me On Deadman site.

Unlike the Spooner guy, this guy at least takes more of an unbiased to
slightly 'this is BS' approach. An interesting read!
I still think the Beatles were planting stuff to screw with the more
obsessive fans. There are indeed far to many "clues" for it all to be
happenstance (the White Album poster being the biggest oddity). The
problem is that the whole rumor didn't surface until late 1969, when the
band was breaking up. So the Beatles couldn't have merely been reacting
to an existing rumor, but creating one. Weird stuff.
